In a report made by The Fortune, it shows that "Hulu" was starting to rebuild their service by expanding their TV network selections. It has been said that "Hulu" is planning to open a new subscription in 2017, which will cost around $40 per month.
"Hulu" is competing against its rival Netflix and Amazon, which also has their own original contents. Currently, "Hulu" offers an on-demand service where they are holding about 12 million subscribers around the globe.
On the other hand, "Hulu" will need to compete against several live streaming service companies. There might be the Netflix and Amazon, but let's not forget that Sling TV, PlayStation Vue and the upcoming DirectTV Now is just around the corner.
"Hulu" is very competitive not only with its service, but also with its pricing package, multi-platform support and a variety of content as the Tech Crunch reported.
As per The Verge mentioned in their report, "Hulu" president Mike Hopkins promised to add new partners in the future. This means "Hulu" will be upgraded and is expected to be better than before.
