Today Hulu’s CEO said that they are not a Cable killer, but I’m not so sure. It’s not hard to do the math on watching all of your favorite shows on demand for $10/month vs a ton of channels/content that you don’t watch for $100.
I REALLY wish they had this in Canada. One day?
“For $9.99 per month, subscribers will be able to watch their favorite shows — including those from seasons past — on a multitude of internet-connected devices. Mobile devices are a go, with iOS devices including the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, and iPod touch (3rd generation) being the main attraction at this point in time. The best part as far as mobile is concerned is that streaming will work on both Wi-Fi and 3G networks.”
And if you’re interested Hulu has put the official release on their blog.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Cable as we know will be obsolete in five years and regardless of Hulu’s intention, they are pioneers (alongside platforms like Netflix and Crackle) in the next generation of “television”.
