According to a Hulu Support Team tweet, it appears that the company is looking into going ad-free for their premium subscription packages.
Currently, despite paying $7.99 per month, Hulu Plus users still get ads with their TV and movie playback.
Reads the tweet:

We’re currently an ad-supported service but looking into the option of a higher price ad-free version.

Hulu has put itself up for sale and is said to be valued at around $2 billion, as long as certain conditions are met such as exclusive licensing agreements for up to 5 years.
Apple, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are all said to have at least had opening talks with the on-demand streaming company.
