With data caps getting bigger and people using said data caps for things like streaming content, surely one of our TV providers, whether that be TVNZ or Mediaworks could look at bringing Hulu to the NZ market.
After all, we have Smart TV's and Blu-ray players with Smart functions built in, and also PS3's, HTPC's, TiVo etc. But currently they are limited to services like YouTube etc.
I for one would be quite happy to pay a monthly or annual fee to be able to watch a variety of TV programmes and movies that we can't get here. Or even if there were ads every 20 - 30 mins with a duration of 15-30 secs each, I wouldn't mind.
What would it take to get Hulu here or Netflix without having to use a VPN to access them? Smart TV's and TiVo's are what I think ideal technology for delivering Hulu content which I believe a lot of people would use frequently.
And surely if TVNZ or Mediaworks or similar were to jump into bed with Hulu so to speak, it would be of benefit to both parties. Income could exist by way of ad revenue or monthly/annual fee.
Thoughts?
