o Report: U.S. Home Internet
Adoption Rate Projected to Slow
Dallas - Of the estimated 39 million U.S. homes without
Internet access, only 2 million said they are planning to subscribe
in 2006, contributing to overall U.S. Internet adoption growth of
just one percent in 2006, from 63% to 64%, according to a report
from market research firm Parks Associates. Only 8 million of the 39
million homes without Internet access even own a computer, although
14 million reported having access to the Internet at work or other
locations. Some 300,000 households said they might subscribe if
services were cheaper. "We are clearly facing a problem of demand,
not supply," said Parks Associates research director John Barrett.
"Computers and Internet service have never been cheaper, yet many
households still show little enthusiasm for the technology." The
firm found that among households not interested in subscribing to an
Internet service at any price, 31% said their Internet access at
work was sufficient, while another 18% claimed, "I am not interested
in anything on the Internet."

o NBC Debuts
New TV Show with Free First Episode on iTunes
New York - NBC this week premiered its new prime time
legal drama "Conviction" on Apple's iTunes Store, offering a free
download of the series' hour-long pilot episode. The pilot will
remain available until the show's network television premiere on
March 3; future episodes will be sold on iTunes for $1.99 each on
the day after they first air on television. "We believe we have a
youthful and energetic cast that should appeal to a new audience
increasingly comfortable with this downloadable format as a viewing
option, and we want to reach out to these viewers," NBC
Entertainment Group CEO Jeff Zucker told The Hollywood Reporter.

o Sprint
Criticized for Excluding Indie Labels from Mobile Music Service
San Francisco - Digital Rights Agency (DRA), a digital
distributor of independent label music, on Thursday criticized
mobile network operator Sprint for failing to include independent
label music on its mobile music download service. "More than three
months after launching the service, and after advertising on the
Super Bowl and Grammy Awards, it's simply unacceptable that Sprint
continues to exclude independent labels from its full-track download
service," said Digital Rights Agency managing director Tuhin Roy.
While DRA has been told by Sprint that it does not have the
resources to carry independent labels, DRA says it and other
independent distributors have already licensed their catalogs to
Groove Mobile, which powers Sprint's service. DRA claims its
offering could be added to Sprint's service by "flipping a switch"
at Groove Mobile.

o Digital
Imaging Firms Team on PC-Free Photo Transfers Between Devices
Orlando, Fla. - A group of digital camera, camera phone
and portable media player makers has announced the development of
guidelines aimed at increasing interoperability between the devices.
Epson, HP, IDS, Olympus, PortalPlayer and Samsung are backing the
PictSync technology, which enables the transfer of digital photos
between two portable devices that can capture or store images --
without the need of a computer. "Today, it can be difficult for the
average consumer to transfer an image from a camera phone or digital
camera to a personal media player without first transferring the
image to a PC. Even then, it may not be possible because data
structures, transfer protocols and synchronization policies are not
followed consistently by all manufacturers," said PictSync
facilitator Felix Nemirovsky. "Clearly defined interoperability
guidelines using existing industry standards such as MPV, DCF, MSC,
PTP and others will enable fast, easy and consistent sharing or
archiving of digital photo in portable media players and other
non-PC devices."

o Former
Gizmondo Exec Crashes Rare $1 Million Ferrari in Malibu
Malibu, Calif. - A former executive at Gizmondo, a maker
of handheld video game devices whose European unit recently declared
bankruptcy, crashed a $1 million Ferrari Enzo on Tuesday while drag
racing at 120 mph on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, Calif.
Stefan Eriksson destroyed the classic car -- of which only 400 were
made -- as it sheared in half after hitting a power pole, while
Eriksson escaped with only a minor cut on his lip. Police said
Eriksson, whose blood alcohol level measured .09, claimed that the
car was actually being driven by a German man named Dietrich, who he
said fled the scene on foot after the accident. Authorities were
unable to locate this person after a local search. The Los Angeles
Times reported that Eriksson had at one point received a $100,000
car allowance from Gizmondo, and once raced in France's Le Mans road
race in a Ferrari with Gizmondo branding. Eriksson resigned from the
company shortly before a Swedish newspaper published a story
claiming that he had been convicted of counterfeiting in Sweden.
