o Report: 2005 Global Digital
Music Revenues Triple to $1.1 Billion
London - Global digital music sales tripled in 2005, to
$1.1 billion, or 6% of record companies' revenues, as consumers
downloaded 420 million songs from online retailers and mobile phone
networks, according to a report from the International Federation of
the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). Ringtones and mobile song
downloads generated over $400 million, or 40% of digital music
revenues. The IFPI noted that there are now over 2 million songs
available for purchase online, from 335 legal download sites -- up
from 50 two years ago. The industry's ongoing fight against
file-sharing and piracy is having some effect in the U.K. and
Germany, the IFPI said, where 6% of Internet users now regularly pay
for digital music, as compared with 5% who use illegitimate
file-sharing services. The group said that record labels have now
filed nearly 20,000 lawsuits against file-swappers in 17 countries.

o Hollywood,
Technology Firms Team to Educate on TV Parental Controls
Washington - A group that includes Hollywood movie
studios, TV networks, consumer electronics firms and cable and
satellite TV providers on Thursday announced an effort to educate
parents on existing technologies that can be used to control what
their children watch on TV. Led by former Motion Picture Association
of America (MPAA) head Jack Valenti, who testified about the effort
before the Senate Commerce Committee, the group includes the
Consumer Electronics Association (CEA); the National Association of
Broadcasters (NAB); the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA);
major television networks; the National Cable & Telecommunications
Association (NCTA); satellite providers DirecTV and EchoStar; and
the Ad Council. "Polls show that some 70 to 80 percent of parents
believe there are programs on TV unsuitable for children," Valenti
testified. "The same percentage also report they do not want
government to step in and fix this problem. From these facts about
the public's revealed opinion, we present a common sense plan that
will convey to American parents that they have, right now, all the
weaponry they need to control all the TV programming that enters
their home." The group will spend between $250 and $300 million to
produce and air ads on the V-chip, satellite and cable channel
blocking, and TV ratings system. The campaign will also include
educational and instructional materials distributed in electronics
retail stores, and outreach to religious and parents' advocacy
groups.

o Study:
Internet Search Users Still Prefer Google
San Mateo, Calif. - Google is still the king of Internet
search, according to a new customer experience study released by
Keynote Systems. For the fourth straight year, Google topped the
firm's rankings by outperforming its competitors in all 13
categories measured, including those for general search quality,
local search quality and image search quality. Yahoo Search ranked
second, Ask Jeeves third, MSN fourth and AOL's public site fifth.
"Despite active competitive maneuverings, Google's challengers have
yet to break the leader's grip on consumers' affections, although
each of the search engines has their own loyal following," said
Bonny Brown, the director of research and public services for
Keynote. "The clear appeal of Google's homepage, as well as its
presentation of sponsored ads and the overall usefulness of its ads
continue to be important factors in Google's continuing success."

o Majesco Lays
Off 20% of Staff, Exits Premium Games Market
Edison, N.J. - Video game publisher Majesco Entertainment
announced that it has laid off 20% of its staff and plans to exit
the premium console video game publishing business, citing
development costs and a disappointing fourth quarter. The company's
fourth quarter revenue was $4.6 million, down from $45.3 million a
year earlier, while its net loss was $34.2 million, compared with
net income of $16.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. New
Jersey-based Majesco plans now to focus on developing and publishing
budget-priced console games, and titles for handheld devices. "This
has been a difficult year for Majesco," said Majesco president Jesse
Sutton. "We entered the premium console market with high expectation
for success, but as a result of a variety of factors we were not
able to meet our expectations. Recently, we evaluated our product
portfolio and have sold or cancelled most of our premium console
titles that were scheduled for release in 2006 and beyond."

o Most Brits
Uninterested in Wi-Fi Services, Survey Says
London - According to a new survey by electronics giant
Toshiba, Brits have yet to warm to the idea of using Wi-Fi on their
laptops. Only one in 10 respondents said they used Wi-Fi in hotels,
while just 7% use Wi-Fi on trains. Less than 3% said they use the
wireless service in coffee shops. About 23% of respondents said they
were unwilling to pay for the service, while 19% said they were
reluctant to use Wi-Fi because of security concerns. Nearly one in
five admitted they do not know how to use the wireless functions of
their laptops. Fifteen percent said there were too few hotspots
throughout the U.K. to make the service worthwhile. "Many users
appear to be failing to capitalise on the opportunities presented to
them through mobility," said Toshiba's Steve Crawley.
