Re: That's the whole point said by espaeth:Certainly there are some people watching large quantities of content on Hulu, but the vast majority are not. I think if you did a serious poll you'd also find the average Hulu viewer uses the service to augment their existing TV service, not replace it. You'd have to include not only Hulu, but Abc.com, Cbs.com, etc. And then there's unauthorized sources such as Youtube, bittorrent, etc. (which are probably largely responsible for the fact that legal sources exist at all).
I'm sure you're right about augmenting as opposed to replacing existing TV service, but in the present economic downturn, that can mean a lot of people who decide to use their existing flat-rate broadband more, as opposed to subscribing to an extra service. |
