The recent launch of Hulu Plus looks set to finally kickstart a Hulu international service say reports. The News Corp, Disney and NBC owned Catch up tv service that is currently US only, looks like it will be appearing on a whole range of devices such as iPhone, iPad, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 via the subscription service and this will open the door to a globally paid distribution network.

Hulu have taken a look at launching internationally before, in the UK one of the biggest tv networks,  ITV was reported to be close to signing a deal with Hulu. However the deal was abandoned due to equity share disagreements and the fact that ITV wanted to concentrate on its own catch up tv service, the ITV Player. However it is beleived the door was left open for further discussions.

The paid ‘Hulu Plus’ launch has not had an easy ride so far though, many are complaining that they have to pay monthly and still put up with advertising throughout the show. It may funnily enough have an easier ride in other areas worldwide if it allows viewers to watch hit US shows before they are broadcast on the networks. But then thats a whole new problem to sort out.
