[ NNSquad ] Re: Why Networks Want to Kill Hulu?

Let's
be careful about our feelings towards this. Yes, Hulu has played an important
role in advancing availability but in the end they are like AOL when it thought
it would be the portal through which everyone got to the Internet and now we
have a TV portal. The
demise of Hulu isn’t the end of TV content over the net but it does mean
that loss of a simple unified interface. I can understand they the networks don’t
want to share. The question is whether the value they gain by being part of
Hulu is sufficient to make up for having to share the revenue. If
you don’t need Hulu as a uniform interface then what about “cable”
which is a far more limited interface that has veto power over what people
view. Are the spats over revenue sharing a sign of the end of that business
model? -----Original Message----- Why Networks Want to Kill Hulu? http://bit.ly/9wm5en (Silicon Alley Insider) --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator |
