I just read an interesting comparison of Hulu.com and mediaflo at telco.net:

It refers to Hulu.com (advertising driven, media giant owned online distribution) as the kind of site Dad would have liked. I guess I always was a bit of an old-fashioned kind of guy - I think the site is fantastic.. at least if you have an IP-address in the US (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). It has all the latest shows from a couple of big players and some real chestnuts from yesteryear (geeky sci-fi fan that I am, I have been enjoying the reruns of Babylon 5!).
I hadn't come across Mediaflo until today, so I will be checking that out in the weeks to come and will post what comes of it.
Either way, it just goes to show that the optimist in me was right - high-quality free to the consumer content online is making a comeback.
