I'm wondering if this means that Hulu might be offered to UVerse
subscribers. This is interesting, because services like Hulu were
usually alternatives to the main cable and fiber TV offerings. I
wonder
if this could set a trend for other companies, such as Comcast or
Time
Warner, to offer services like Hulu and Netflix in order to keep
subscribers from jumping ship. From DigitalTrends ...
Hulu and AT&T have announced a joint effort to bring Hulu to the
masses.
According to a press release by AT&T this week, the communications
giant
will offer Hulu subscription streaming service to AT&T customers
through
a variety of platforms such as mobile apps and AT&T websites, slated
to
become available later this year.
�We know that our customers want to be able to access video on
multiple
devices,� said Andrew Goodman, associate vice president, AT&T
content
acquisition. �So we�re excited to be able to expand our
relationship
with Hulu and make its innovative and vast video selections
available to
AT&T customers on multiple screens.�
The goal for the partnership is to bring Hulu to more screens, as
AT&T
customers will be able to select from Hulu material through an AT&T
app
and from the website. Additionally, there are talks of eventually
rolling out a Hulu app for TV. Just what the collaborative app would
look like is unclear at this point.

Tim Connolly, Hulu�s senior vice president of partnerships and
distribution said, �At Hulu, we strive to create the best possible
video
experience for customers � offering them the ability to view their
favorite content, when, where and how they want. We are excited to
be
working with AT&T to connect its customers with our premium content
on
very screen.�
Hulu is taking a closer look at its business model as of late with
rival
Netflix continuing to dominate when it comes to both subscribers,
and
bandwidth used. In an attemp to keep up, Hulu made headlines for
spending a whopping $180 million for the complete Seinfeld series,
which
will be available to its paying users this summer.
The AT&T deal will likely be a huge benefit to Hulu, as it will
drive
premium subscribers to the site. Previously AT&T hosted a decent
library
of Hulu�s free material embedded across a number of sites. Now,
however
the focus will shift to paid content. The new offers will become
available later this year.
