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.
