Hulu, Spotify Team For $5 A Month Bundled Service For Students

Los Angeles-based streaming television provider Hulu, and streaming music provider Spotify, hoping to hook college students on their services, said on Thursday they are rolling out a new entertainment streaming bundle for U.S. college students. The new service costs only $4.99 a month, and lets students not only stream music but also stream television shows and movies from Hulu. The two said the new Spotify Premium for Students gives access to both Spotify Premium and to Hulu's Limited Commercials plan. Hulu and Spotify hinted at future, bundled offerings targeted at "the broader market" in the future. The two said the new plan will be available to undergraduate students in the U.S., who are enrolled in a U.S. Title IV accredited college or university.
