Foolish bottom line

Based on the amount of money that Hulu’s owners are investing, they are clearly determined to build the service into a successful and highly profitable venture. The most straightforward way to do that is to make Hulu Plus a more compelling product to win more subscribers.

However, the free Hulu site is arguably the biggest competitor to Hulu Plus right now, since it offers much of the same content. Unfortunately, that means the free site may become a casualty of the new focus on driving Hulu Plus subscriptions.
