Online TV Revolution: Hulu

Just ten years ago, watching television online was nearly impossible because of the slow speeds and poor video qualities known at the time. Now, Internet speeds are exponentially faster, and video quality has improved immensely. In order to fill this open market, Hulu has captured this niche. They are an online company which plays primarily TV shows to any internet user for free. The only condition is a few ads put in the show throughout. Which, considering the same thing is the case on TV, Hulu has grown to be a very popular venue. Some companies however, such as CBS, have been trying to keep their videos from Hulu, and instead play them on their own website. While this is inconvenient for the consumer, the videos are still there and free. Hulu has started this surge in internet TV and it has grown immensely to making netflix more popular and all sorts of Streaming sites. Hulu has done for internet TV what Pandora did for internet radio.
