o Report: Some Major Labels Want
Price Hike for Digital Music Downloads
New York -- Some of the major record labels are in negotiations
with online music retailers to increase the wholesale price of
digital music downloads, The Financial Times reported on Monday. One
top label told The Financial Times it wouldn't raise prices because
the market is not yet mature enough, while the paper noted that
Universal Music and Sony BMG "are known to be particularly reluctant
to disrupt the market for downloads." The report said that Apple CEO
Steve Jobs was "angered" by the desire of some labels to increase
the wholesale price of digital downloads, now believed to be about
$0.65; most online retailers currently sell tracks for $0.99 each.
Analysts cautioned that an increase in download prices could result
in consumers returning to illegitimate services that offer free
downloads. "It seems to me to be singularly bad timing," Gartner
analyst Michael McGuire told FT.com.

o XM Satellite
Radio to Raise Monthly Subscriber Fees to Match Sirius
Washington -- XM Satellite Radio announced on Monday plans to
increase subscription fees to match those charged by competitor
Sirius Satellite Radio. Beginning April 2, monthly fees for XM
subscribers will rise from $9.95 per month to $12.95 per month,
although the company will offer existing customers the ability to
lock in the lower rate with a prepaid annual subscription -- with
deeper discounts also available for prepaid terms up to five years.
"This new pricing approach will help fund future technology
development, enable us to offer more attractively-priced radios and
maintain our programming excellence," said XM CEO Hugh Panero.
"Together, these initiatives should result in XM exceeding its
current target of 20 million customers by 2010." Along with the
price increase, XM subscribers will get access to premium offerings,
such as the XM Radio Online version of the company's programming,
previously an extra $3.99 per month, and XM High Voltage ($1.99).

o Sony BMG to
Increase Number of Copy-Protected CD Releases in 2005
New York -- Major label Sony BMG plans to increase the number of
albums it releases with added copy-protection technology from
SunnComm and First4Internet, with "a substantial number" of its
releases to contain such technology by year's end, Billboard
reported. BMG included SunnComm's antipiracy technology on a Velvet
Revolver album that last year hit the top spot on Billboard's sales
chart. The merged Sony BMG recently released a copy-protected album
by the Chieftains, and plans to release additional copy-protected
titles from Kasabian (March 8) and Susie Suh (March 29). One issue
for consumers is the limited number of copies that may be made of
copy-protected CDs. "We haven't set on what the number of copies
should be, other than there should be a limited number; it shouldn't
be infinite," Sony BMG sales enterprise co-president Jordan Katz
told Billboard. "Our research shows that the consumer thinks that's
fair. So you are seeing Sony BMG taking a leadership role in this
area, with increasing traction throughout the year in terms of a
number of (our) releases."

o Study: Few
Search Engine Users Show Exclusive Allegiance
New York -- Most people who use Internet search engines don't
have an exclusive allegiance to a particular site, according to new
research from Nielsen/NetRatings. The firm found that users of the
top three search engines -- Google, Yahoo and MSN -- often like to
switch off between the sites. Specifically, 58% of Google searchers,
71% of Yahoo searchers and 70% of MSN searchers said that they also
have visited at least one of the other top two search engines.
"While it shouldn't surprise anyone that Google is the search engine
to beat, it is critical that all of the major search players,
including Google, recognize that they exclusively own only a
minority of their users," said Ken Cassar, the director of strategic
analysis at Nielsen/NetRatings. "This highlights an opportunity and
a threat to all of the established players in the market, and
underscores the importance of continued innovation in a highly
competitive market that is anything but mature."

o Mobile TV
Chip Developer Frontier Silicon Raises $28 Million
Watford, England -- Frontier Silicon, a U.K.-based fabless
manufacturer of semiconductors for digital radio, TV and wireless TV
products, announced that it has raised $28 million. The company,
voted by the VC advisory board of the Fabless Semiconductor
Association as the U.K. "Start-Up to Watch", said it planned to use
the funds to bring digital TV to mobile phones. Frontier Silicon has
developed two products, the Apollo and Kino computer chips, which
allow mobile phones, PDAs and other devices such as the Apple iPod
to receive and record digital TV broadcasts. Irish venture capital
firm ACT led the round, in which Apax Partners, AltaBerkeley Venture
Partners, Quilvest and Bluerun Ventures (formerly known as Nokia
Venture Partners) also participated.

o Online Ad
Developer BlueLithium Raises $11.5 Million
London -- BlueLithium Inc., a performance-based advertising network,
announced on Monday that it has raised approximately $11.5 million
in first round funding, led by WaldenVC and 3i Group. BlueLithium
said it would use funds to further deploy its optimization
technology and to expand advertising sales operations
internationally, especially in the U.K. "Since we focus on digital
media investments, we have seen many companies in the online
advertising and marketing space," said WaldenVC general partner
Steve Eskenazi, who will become a BlueLithium director. "With its
AdRevolver optimization technology and its long list of satisfied
customers, BlueLithium immediately stood out to us as a company that
has the opportunity to build long-term, sustainable advantages over
its competition." BlueLithium, which reached more than 100 million
unique users worldwide as of last December, said its network
currently includes more than 1,000 sites and delivers several
billion impressions per month.

o Report:
Online Entertainment Revenue to Grow 130% by 2009
South San Francisco -- Online entertainment services such as video,
music downloads, games, gambling and adult content are expected to
generate revenues of $15.8 billion in 2005 and reach $36 billion in
2009, according to a new report by South San Francisco-based RHK, a
provider of telecommunications research and analysis services. While
online gambling, online adult content and online games already have
established multibillion-dollar markets, video and music will be the
two fastest growing segments over the forecast period, the firm
said. "Broadband connectivity has been a key driver and will gain
even more significance in enabling new forms of content services
through the introduction of new high-quality digital features that
will enhance the user's experience," said Stephane Teral, the
principal author of the report.

(London) A new survey commissioned by Internet marketing
specialist Agence Virtuelle shows that web searchers in the U.K. are
far more savvy than their counterparts in the U.S. The report showed
that 93% of Internet users in the U.K. understand the difference
between sponsored and organic search engine results, compared to
just 38% of users in the U.S. The survey also found that U.K.
consumers largely ignore sponsored links, with about two-thirds of
British consumers saying they prefer organic search results. Less
than 5% of the survey's respondents said they frequently clicked on
sponsored links, while about 20% said they never clicked on them.
About 2% said they clicked on banner ads, and less than 1% said
responded to pop-up advertising.
http://www.agencevirtuelle.com
(San Francisco) CNET News.com on Monday reported on "Perplex
City," an "alternate-reality" game that blends a traditional video
game with online community and real-life elements like treasure
hunting. Ads related to the game that contain complex puzzles have
appeared in USA Today, The Times of London and the Sydney Daily
Telegraph, and on innocuous postcards found in both Italy and North
Carolina. Players following Perplex City currently cannot say who
created the alternate-reality game, or if it is a guerilla marketing
campaign similar to those waged for Steven Spielberg's film "A.I.,"
or Microsoft's "ILoveBees" promotion for the release of its "Halo 2"
video game for the Xbox.
