o Disney's Moviebeam VOD Service
Raises $48.5 Million
New York - Moviebeam, a video-on-demand service launched
by Disney in several markets in 2003 but suspended last year, has
raised $48.5 million in new venture capital funding, Reuters
reported on Monday. Both Disney and networking equipment firm Cisco
Systems participated in the investment round, as did venture capital
firms including Intel Capital, Mayfield Fund, Norwest Venture
Partners and Vantage Point Venture Partners. Moviebeam spokeswoman
Michelle Cox told Reuters that Disney remains the company's largest
investor, but declined to itemize the other investors'
contributions. Moviebeam utilized unused spectrum from TV
broadcasters to "datacast" movies and other content to set-top boxes
in consumers' homes. The service launched in three cities in 2003,
but suspended all service in 2005, saying it planned to upgrade
technology. The spokeswoman declined to tell Reuters when Moviebeam
plans to re-launch.

o AOL and
Yahoo Plan to Charge Fee to Bulk E-mailers to Evade Filters
Dulles, Va. - AOL and Yahoo have developed a plan to
charge e-mail marketers a fee to allow their emails to bypass spam
filtering technologies that often block legitimate e-mail. The move
-- being compared to stamps on letters -- is aimed at allowing
legitimate marketers (such as banks, publishers and associations) to
get their email messages through spam filters that often block
requested messages. Companies using the fee-based system would need
to verify that they have been given permission to send email to the
end-user. Goodmail Systems said on Monday that its technology will
be used for the new system, which would be voluntary. Marketers not
wanting to pay the fee would be allowed to use the existing system,
but risk that their messages be blocked by spam filters. The New
York Times reported that both companies are considering charging
between 1/4 a cent to 1 cent per email for those firms joining the
program.

Blacklists BMW for Boosting Ranking, Blogger Says
Frankfurt - According to a blog by Matt Cutts, a software
engineer for Google, the U.S.-based Internet search-engine giant has
blacklisted the German website of BMW after the carmaker allegedly
tried to boost its popularity ranking artificially. Cutts claims BMW
employed a practice called search-engine optimization to ensure that
searches for "BMW" and "used cars" returned to BMW's website first
-- a practice that apparently runs counter to Google guidelines.
Cutts said Google placed a "Google Death Penalty" on BMW's German
website that lowers its Internet profile.

o Google and
Skype Invest $21.7 Million in Spain's Fon
Madrid - Fon, a Spain-based company dedicated to creating
an international network of shared Wi-Fi connections, announced that
it has raised more than $21.7 million in its first round of venture
capital financing. Index Ventures led the round, with Google,
Sequoia Capital and Skype also participating. Fon's goal is to
create a grass-roots network of shared Wi-Fi links by turning
individual users into an army of so-called "foneros," or people
sharing wireless access.

o Wireless
Firm Kajeet Raises $27 Million in First Round
Bethesda, Md. - Kajeet, a cell phone service designed

million in venture capital financing. Tweens are a marketing term
for children between the ages of 8 and 14. The investors were
Bessemer Venture Partners, Gabriel Venture Partners, InterWest
Partners, and FidelityVentures. The company was co-founded by Daniel
Neal, the former CEO of VCampus Corp; Matthew D. Baker, co-founder
of STSN, and Ben Weintraub, former COO and co-founder of
SimplyWireless.com. "With Kajeet, I'm helping to build the mobile
devices and services I want my own daughter -- and her parents -- to
have," said Neal.

Mountain View, Calif. - Kasenna, a provider of

o NetRatings
Sues WebSideStory for Patent Infringement
New York - NetRatings, a provider of Internet audience
measurement and market research, announced on Monday that filed
patent infringement claims against WebSideStory, a provider of
Internet marketing services. New York-based NetRatings says the five
patents in question cover the "collection, analysis and reporting of
information concerning computer usage activity." "Our patented
technologies are at the core of NetRatings' high quality, innovative
product portfolio," said NetRatings CEO William Pulver. "As we see
