News Corp executive and Hulu board member Jonathan Miller was quoted in DailyFinance saying that he thinks a logical next stop for the web video service is providing premium TV episodes and movies that you'll have to pay to watch. He said this is an early idea that's not even on the official agenda yet, and he didn't go into detail as to whether this would just apply to content from premium TV networks like Showtime and HBO, or to standard network TV also.
