o WSJ: Amazon, Labels in Talks on Digital Music Subscription Service

Seattle - Online retail giant Amazon.com is in licensing negotiations with the four major record labels, with eyes toward launching its own digital music service, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday. On Tuesday, Warner Music Group CEO Edgar Bronfman told reporters that the company has been in talks with Amazon. "We certainly have been working closely with Amazon as they work to launch their service," said Bronfman. "They have a very powerful base of CD purchasers and we think that their digital launch, when it comes sort of second half of the year, we hope will be a successful one." Amazon, which claims 55 million customers with active accounts, is said to be looking at a subscription-based service like Napster, The Journal reported. The service would offer subscribers a discounted, Amazon-branded portable music player made by Samsung.

o XM Reports Wider Quarterly Loss; Board Member Resigns

Washington - Shares of XM Satellite Radio dropped 5% on Thursday after the provider of satellite radio services posted a significantly wider quarterly loss, due mainly to higher marketing costs. At the same time, the company said that Pierce Roberts, a board member for five years who sat on all of the company's major committees, has stepped down, citing disagreements with other board members about the direction of the company. "The company believes the disagreement with Director Roberts primarily involves the strategic balance of growth versus cash flow," XM said in a statement. "Director Roberts has historically favored more stringent cost control in the company, specifically involving lower marketing, programming and promotional expenditures." For the quarter, XM reported a net loss of $270.4 million, up from $190.4 million the prior year. Despite revenue that more than doubled to $177.1 million, the company's per share loss of $1.22 was sharply higher than Wall Street expectations of $0.92, according to a survey of analysts from Thomson First Call.

o Youth Virtual Mobile Network Helio Partners with MySpace

Los Angeles - Helio, a new youth-focused mobile network operator joint venture between EarthLink and South Korea's SK Telecom, announced on Thursday that it has signed an agreement with MySpace, News Corp.'s social-networking site with 55 million members. The MySpace Mobile service will let Helio subscribers view MySpace profiles and photos, blog, send and receive MySpace messages, and post photos taken with Helio phones directly onto MySpace. The Wall Street Journal reported that Helio, set to launch in the U.S. in the spring, will receive $440 million in funding from its backers. The company's first two handsets -- the "Hero" made by Pantech and "Kickflip" made by VK Mobile -- were introduced on Thursday.

o Utah Looks to Adds Violent Games to Obscenity Law, Ban Sales to Minors

Salt Lake City, Utah - A bill that would include violent video games in the state of Utah's obscenity laws, and make it a felony to exhibit such games to minors, has passed in a committee and now heads to the Utah House for debate, the Utah Daily Herald reported. The bill would put the same legal test to violent games that applies to pornography; namely, that games are obscene if they are deemed so by community standards, and contain no serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors. "This is a bill that identifies the effects that different media has on our children," said Utah Rep. David Hogue, a Republican from Riverton. The Entertainment Software Association, a video game industry trade group, said the bill was not needed. "More importantly, the bill will be challenged as unconstitutional," the ESA's Scott Sabey told the Daily Herald. "To plug violence into an obscenity statute won't work." The ESA has already successfully sued to have video game bans declared unconstitutional on free speech grounds in a number of states.

o Microsoft Names New Head of Japanese Xbox Division

Tokyo - Microsoft announced on Thursday that it has appointed Takashi Sensui to general manager of its Xbox division in Japan. Sensui replaces Yoshihiro Maruyama, who was appointed to a position within Microsoft's entertainment and devices division. Microsoft has sold just 115,000 Xbox 360 consoles in Japan in two months of availability -- fewer than the original Xbox in the same period -- compared with 900,000 sold in North America by the end of December. "Sales have not necessarily lived up to everyone's expectations since launch," Sensui told Reuters. "But considering the (software) titles due to be released and the features and functions of the Xbox 360, we believe we will see very strong growth from here on out." The company expects sales to increase once Japanese-developed games for the Xbox 360 are released in the near future. "There just hasn't been enough software available," Hiroshi Kamide, an analyst at KBC Securities Japan, told Reuters. "It's all about the games, and if they aren't there, there is just absolutely no point."

o Report: Nearly 18 Billion Videos Streamed Online in 2005

Monterey, Calif. - The number of Internet video streams served in 2005 was up 50% over 2004, to 17.95 billion, with 85% of these streamed at broadband rates, according to a report from market research firm AccuStream Research. Surfers also tuned into more streaming Web radio stations, as aggregate tuning hours for 2005 were 43% higher than the previous year. Music was the top video category online again in 2005, accounting for 45% of all video streams served. In addition to traffic generated by new independent streaming video sites, like Break.com, StupidVideos.com, Roo and VideoDetective, the largest streaming video networks remained part of large portals like AOL, Yahoo and RealNetworks, AccuStream said. "Syndication agreements between large content brands such as FoxSports and MSN Video, CBS and ABC with AOL, along with ESPN and high-speed network providers suggests streaming media is following a maturation path carved out by major broadcast, cable and satellite distribution platforms," said AccuStream research director Paul A. Palumbo.

o U.K. Online Casino Empire Online Settles Legal Dispute with PartyGaming

London - The legal battle between Gibraltar-based online poker giant PartyGaming and Cyprus-based Empire Online ended on Thursday after the former agreed to acquire a number of assets belonging to the latter for approximately $250 million in cash. Empire operates websites that direct punters to online gambling companies, which then pay Empire a commission. Six months ago, Empire sued PartyGaming after the online poker firm unceremoniously dropped Empire's platform in favor of its own. Under the terms of Thursday's announcement, PartyGaming will acquire the business, assets, player databases and IP relating to EmpirePoker and AceClub.com.

o Podcast Ad Network Podbridge Gets Up to $12 Million in Funding

Mountain View, Calif. - Podbridge, a provider of targeted ad delivery technology for podcasts, on Thursday announced the launch of its service. The company's founder and CEO, Murgesh Navar, told VentureWire that it has raised between $10 and $12 million in venture capital funding, from Mayfield Fund and Worldview Technology Partners. Podbridge said it has already partnered with the BBC, Military.com and several Clear Channel radio stations, which will be able to track ad listens, place ads by demographic and location, rotate multiple ads and manage budgets. "For podcasting to become a mainstream media, it needs a business model to encourage content providers," said Navar. "We aim to help our content partners generate revenue by providing the insight and accountability needed to attract advertisers." The company added that Ronning Lipset Radio has signed on to be its exclusive third-party agent, charged with selling audio spots on the Podbridge network.

o Digital Ad Delivery Firm DG Systems Secures $25 Million Credit Facility

Dallas - Digital Generation Systems (DG Systems), a provider of digital media advertising services for the advertising and broadcast industries, announced on Thursday that it has secured a new $25 million credit facility with Wachovia Bank N.A. The company also executed a $35 million commitment from Wachovia, which will allow DG to refinance the debt of FastChannel Networks. DG agreed to merge with FastChannel in December 2005, and assume up to $10 million of the company's debt. Dallas-based DG Systems provides digital media ad delivery technology to a network that includes 5,000 advertisers and agencies, 3,800 broadcasters and over 10,000 radio stations.

o Report: U.S., Europe Lag Behind Asia in Mobile Gaming Adoption

Dallas - Mobile phone users in the Asia-Pacific region are more avid consumers of mobile games than their European and North American counterparts, according to a report from market research firm Parks Associates. A survey found that 28% of consumers in the Asia-Pacific region played single-player mobile games on a weekly basis, compared with 13% in Europe and 8% in North America. In the nascent market for mobile multiplayer games, the survey found 7% played them weekly in the Asia-Pacific region, versus just 2% in both Europe and North America. "Cellular operators in North America and Europe are lagging behind their Asia-Pacific counterparts in mobile gaming, but they are starting to increase their focus on this area," said Parks Associates analyst Yuanzhe (Michael) Cai. "Large game publishers such as EA are also reevaluating market opportunities and investing heavily in the space, so with wider deployments of 3G mobile networks and the continued development of feature-rich handsets with gamer-friendly designs, these regions should be able to reduce the international gaming gap."

o AOL: Online Super Bowl Ads Viewed Nearly 42 Million Times

Dulles, Va. - America Online said on Thursday that videos of Super Bowl ads on its AOL.com portal have now been viewed nearly 42 million times, almost double the number from a year ago. The Internet service posted the ads as part of its user poll of the top Super Bowl ads from this year and of all-time. Budweiser's "Streaker" commercial was voted the most popular ad of this year, while "Mean" Joe Green's 1980 Coca-Cola commercial once again was the top winner in the classic commercial poll. Over 895,000 votes were cast in total.
