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.

(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.
