Hulu to remain free?

There appears to rumors about the a subscription service to the tune of $9.99 for access to Hulu.

An article from DailyTech from last week mentioned a target date of May 24 - which, fortunately has already passed and the service remains free.

See the link: http://www.dailytech.com/Hulu+to+Remain+Free+Premium+10Month+Subscription+Still+At+Least+a+Month+Away/article18408.htm

The new theory is that the current form of Hulu will remain free, but a subscription will provide premium access to more episodes.

Part owner, News Corp had publicly stated plans to charge this year. Cable giant, Comcast is likely to complete its acquisition of NBC, another part owner of Hulu, and is incentivized to charge for the service as well.

Perhaps the 15 sec commercials aren't so bad after all...
