Vessel Online Video Website Launches from Hulu Veterans

Reuters: Online video platform Vessel has launched its paid subscription service, offering programming at least three days before other websites in a bid to reshape an industry dominated by free content on YouTube. Vessel, which costs viewers $3 a month, was founded by former Hulu CEO Jason Kilar and CTO Richard Tom. They aim to create an early window for a selection of web video, similar to the way movies are released in theaters before they arrive on cable TV or the Internet. “Early access is very valuable.”
