After months of rumors, Hulu officially announced its $9.99/month Hulu Plus service. Invites will soon start rolling out in weekly batches. So what will you get for that $9.99? 'Full access to a bunch of current shows (Hulu lists 40 but adds 'and more' to that list) as well as complete series collections of some older titles such as The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the wonderful and mostly-ignored Eli Stone,' writes blogger Peter Smith. 'HD content sources will be streamed at 720P but Hulu mentions that the service is ad-supported.'

Google Inc. has announced a "new approach" in China after the government said the company could no longer automatically redirect users to the unfiltered Hong Kong site. Move over Google, it's Baidu Inc, with over 60 percent of share in internet search in China, to grab the chance and expand. It has announced new plans to hire U.S engineers to enhance its technical skills and propel its growth globally.

The plan would make available 500 megahertz of federal and commercial spectrum over the next 10 years, the official said.
Freeing up spectrum would also create jobs by meeting the growing demand for mobile and fixed broadband, spur economic growth and raise funds to build an emergency network for public safety workers, the official said.
Some estimates suggest the next five years will see an increase in wireless data of between 20 to 45 times 2009 levels, reflecting the burgeoning use of smartphones, netbooks and other wireless devices.
Under the policy, most of the freed-up spectrum would be auctioned for mobile broadband use, according to the administration official who spoke on background.
