Hulu Plus Up to 2 Million Subscribers (with One New Sub Every 30 Seconds)

Speaking of big milestones for Hulu, the internet?s premiere online video streaming service ?that offers a selection of hit shows, clips, movies and more at Hulu.com, numerous destination sites online, and through [an] ad-supported subscription service, Hulu Plus? recently signed up its 2 millionth subscriber to that ad-supported subscription service. Hulu CEO Jason Kilar debuted Hulu Plus in a blog post on June 29, 2010. As of Q1 2012, the company reports over 2 million individuals have signed up and are paying for the premium subscription service. That represents ?the fastest ramp of paid subscribers among any video subscription service in the US? (based on internal research from Hulu). That also means in roughly 1 year and 9 months (or somewhere around 641 days), Hulu Plus has acquired, on average about 3,120 subscribers per day, 130 subscribers per hour, and a little more than 2 subscribers per minute. By comparison, Dish Networks (which started up its direct broadcast satellite service in 1996) reported its paying subscriber numbers at 14.056 million as of June 2011. And Netflix (which began shipping DVDs to consumers in 1997 with a model based on gym memberships) currently clocks in at 23.4 million paying US subscribers
