They don’t want to offer an alternative that is more attractive than their legacy dinosaur subscription service.

Hoping that someone, somewhere starts an a la carte online channel subscription service somewhere. If that happens, consumers will flock to it, but again, we’ll have to deal with the fallout as the Cable Co’s implement bandwidth usage caps at the internet service level.

Think they’ll move to an online only pricing for streaming people?

If Hulu does implement this and it downgrades the availability of otherwise “free content”, then I can see it leading to more people using illegitimate sources for their online content consumption.
