Is Hulu Ready to Viewulu?

Owen over at Valleywag found that the NBC channel on YouTube has been pulled. He also wonders if this is a sign of the upcoming launch of Hulu. On the Hulu Web site, CEO Jason Kilar notes, "The Hulu private beta will be available in October." Ten days left to make that deadline.

We heard about the new name in August but there has been no news since. I guess once the first private beta testers get their hands on the app, we will see more. The Hulu privacy policy makes it clear that they will want to know everything about you including a good bit of personally indentifiable information (PII). They will walk a fine line with just how much information they require to use the service.

What will YouTube look like if more networks/shows pull out?
