o Report: Revenue from TV Phone Sales to Pass $30 Billion by 2010

Boston - Revenue from sales of cell phones capable of receiving mobile TV is expected to grow from $5 billion in 2006 to over $30 billion by 2010, according to a report from Boston-based market research firm Strategy Analytics. "Japan and Korea dominate market volumes today, accounting for over 80 percent of TV phones sold in 2006. However, Western Europe and North America, as well as China, will be the hot spots for global volume growth over the next few years," said Strategy Analytics analyst Neil Mawston. "We expect Western Europe to ramp up to over 1 million units sold this year, with North America and China coming online in 2007. The share of TV phone volume held by Japan and Korea will drop precipitously to under 50 percent by 2008, and under one third by 2010." The firm predicts that TV phones based on the DVB-H standard will grow from 19% of the market this year to 40% by 2010, citing the support of Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Siemens. One popular feature on TV phones expected to grow is "TV-Out," which lets users send mobile TV content to a home TV, set-top box or digital video recorder; Strategy Analytics forecasts that 40% of all TV phones in 2010 will support this feature, up from less than 10% this year.

o The Orchard Launches Digital Mastering Service for Rare Vinyl

New York - The Orchard, a digital distributor of independent label music, on Monday announced the launch of a service that labels can use to issue archival-quality digital masters of rare and unreleased vinyl. The Digital Wax service will utilize the same transcription system used by the Library of Congress to transfer vinyl into digital format using high-quality audio equipment. "A modified Simon Yorke S7 turntable fitted with a Kondo IO-j cartridge feeds the esoteric, rare, expensive and exquisite Kondo M1000 preamplifier, via a Kondo KSL SFz step-up transformer," the company said, in a description of the digital mastering process. "This signal is in turn converted via an audiophile A-D 2 channel converter, and archived in DSL. All wiring is Kondo age-annealed 99.9999% pure silver wire, and all components are isolated by Vibraplane active isolation platforms." New York-based The Orchard said initial label participants will include SST, Delicious Vinyl, Lookout Records and Amphetamine Reptile, adding that newly mastered digital tracks based on the vinyl releases will be available on digital music stores including iTunes and Napster beginning in March.

o E-Commerce in U.K. Grows by 28.9% in 2005, Report Says

London - According to a new report by market-analysis firm Verdict, U.K. shoppers are taking to the Internet like never before. Last year, U.K. consumers spent more than $14.3 billion online, a 28.9% year-on-year increase. The report also found that the e-commerce community grew by about 14.6 million people (a 25.5% increase) over the same period, meaning that nearly a quarter of Britons use the Internet to buy goods now.
