ABC and CBS to Have Free Streaming on Apple iPad, Hulu Still Considering

The ABC and CBS television stations will allow iPad owners to stream free online content on their devices. The catch is that there will be commercials interspersed within the programming, so for those of you out there that can’t stand commercials, be forewarned. ABC will allow free streaming through an app from Apple’s App Store while CBS will offer “free” programming through a browser-based method, i.e. their website.

Hulu hasn’t yet confirmed their stance on streaming free content on Apple’s iPad. According to Jason Kilar, their Chief Executive, the company is “certainly open to subscriptions as a complement to an ad-supported model.” Hulu has been rumored to be considering a subscription model quite a bit.

As consumers of online content yourselves, what do you have to say about this? Any comments?
