I would do this in a heartbeat. I hate Comcast Cable TV for their poor service and premium rates. However, my guess is that Apple would have to complete their new East Coast data center to launch such a service. I believe this North Carolina facility should be completed by the end of 2010.

Yes - if it is as easy as flipping on the TV and watching what I want. If I have to jump through 15 hoops just to get to the content I'm looking for then it's useless.

It would boil down to convenience.

Also, $30/month is cheap.

@Kiran - That's true, we'll have to see how things change. But I think Hulu will stick around giving stuff away with a few ads a while longer.

Liz Do you expect Hulu to remain as is next year? It seems like they will be either forced to increase the ad times or charge. If Apple comes with a subscription model 30$/month I will most probably go with it.
