Video On Demand
As A Form Of Moving Image
Video on Demand (VoD) is a media distribution system that allows users to access videos without a traditional video playback device and the constraints of a typical static broadcasting schedule. In the 20th century, broadcasting in the form of over-the-air programming was the most common form of media distribution. As Internet and IPTV technologies continued to develop in the 1990s, consumers began to gravitate towards non-traditional modes of content consumption, which culminated in the arrival of VoD on televisions and personal computers.

And it had this great sort of symbolism of the holder of precious things, which is the holder of premium content. So that's why we named it Hulu."[from wikipedia]
