I’m a big fan of Hulu and the efforts by TV networks to put advertiser-supported programming online. And I’m not at all opposed to paying a monthly fee for such things -- Netflix’s streaming service is worth every dime I pay for it. Nevertheless, when I read the details of Hulu’s much-anticipated premium service, called Hulu Plus, I was surprised at how little it seemed to offer for the money. You can read my rationale at the Times’ Technology blog.
