... I think Hulu is a test bed for Disney, Comcast and Fox. They want to see who watches what and at what times. Then at some time in the future, they may decide to launch their own streaming services, or still collaborate on Hulu and with others like Netflix.

The thing about Netflix that goes over most people's heads, is their value is not in their original series', that's still in its infancy. Or its interface, easily replicated by others. But in the information it gathers on viewing habits. That is very valuable. Perhaps Disney might buy them??

The big media companies don't know which way to jump. Neflix and Amazon are hurting not just the main US tv networks, but the pay tv channels too. They're frightened to put all their eggs in one on demand basket at the expense of their traditional and still very profitable broadcast and pay tv channels business'.

I'm watching what Disney does closely as well. They have the biggest film franchisee in history and you can bet they'll want to make as much dosh out of the "force" as they can.
