An email exchange I've already had with Hulu support:

Hi Douglas,

Thanks for writing in. Nothing has changed for our service, so I wouldn't
pay too much attention to any articles speculating otherwise. We are always
working on improving our service for all users, so if we ever add any new
features, we'll be sure to announce them on our website and blog (
http://blog.hulu.com ).

Again, thank you for writing. Please let me know if you have any other
questions, or if there's anything else I can help you with.

Thanks,
Matthew
Hulu Support

Thanks for writing back, Mathew.  Just in case you hadn't, however, you
should check out the results of the (free) market survey that has already
been conducted on this potential mistake^B^B^B^B^B^B^B^B bit of management
brilliance:

(Did the guy who thought this nugget up happen to have been a CEO at
Netflix, previously?  Same caliber of marketing brilliance, if it's not
that same guy...)
