AOL has The Adventures Of Superman, Gilligan's Island, Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Wonder Woman, and, Hulu has, McHale's Navy, Kojak, Ironsides, and the original Battlestar Galacica, to name just a few.
Those are among the many shows not carried by any cable channel. In fact, TV Land, Sleuth, American Life and others have downsized their classic TV offerings. Which is driving classic TV fans to the internet.
And, that is partly why there is talk of caps and per byte billing. They would rather you watched something they have on cable, but when what you want to watch isn't on cable, they want a piece of that, too.
It's also about controling what we watch and how we watch it.
Verizon is to be offering internet-to-TV video streaming in a few months. But, Hulu, AOL, etc. won't be supported. By controlling what we watch, they won't have to worry so much about imposing caps.
