o TiVo, Parents Groups Team on Parental Controls, Programming Suggestions

Alviso, Calif. - TiVo on Thursday introduced a new feature that offers parents the ability to control the programming their children have access to, and also suggests family-friendly programming as designated by Common Sense Media and the Parents Television Council. TiVo KidZone allows parents to choose from shows recommended by these groups, add or remove specific programs or channels from children's access, and block access to any programming or channels not part of KidZone. "We are very grateful to TiVo for bringing forward KidZone. This is just what the TV marketplace needed," said Tim Winter, executive director of the Parents Television Council. "TiVo will now allow parents to enforce their own programming values, so for those parents who share the Parents Television Council's concerns, the features TiVo is introducing will help them exercise responsibility for their children's viewing habits and easily implement our system for screening shows for kids." The TiVo KidZone feature, slated to launch by mid-2006, will be included as part of the standard TiVo service fee. The service will not be available for subscribers who receive TiVo service from DirecTV.

o Yahoo to Shift from In-House Content to Acquisitions, User Contributions

New York - Lloyd Braun, the former ABC development executive who now heads Yahoo's Media Group, plans to switch the unit's focus from original television-style programs, like its "Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone," to content acquired from third parties or contributed by Yahoo users, The New York Times reported. "I now get excited about user-generated content the way I used to get excited about thinking about what television shows would work," Braun told The Times. Braun also dispelled rumors that he was unhappy and planning to leave Yahoo. "I didn't fully appreciate what success in this medium is really going to look like," Braun added. "This is not about creating one-off hits like in my old business. That is not going to create a sustainable competitive advantage over the long term."

o Digital Music Service Providers Say Songwriters' Cut Too Large

New York - The Digital Media Association (DiMA), a trade group representing the digital music services of Apple, AOL, Yahoo, Napster and RealNetworks, among others, believes that music publishers are taking too large a share of digital music revenue. While record labels claim about 65% of the revenue from digital songs, songwriters' share of the revenue from each song has risen from 7.5% to 9.1%. "Our pie was shrinking but we were paying more and more to the publishers," DiMA executive director Jonathan Potter told attendees of the Digital Music Forum, a two-day event in New York produced by Digital Media Wire. "This made the economics as upside down as the zero price point -- it didn't allow people to do reasonable forecasting or price points."

Santa Monica, Calif. - The Global Gaming League, a producer of video game tournaments, announced on Thursday that it has signed an agreement with hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg, to create a Hip Hop Gaming League.

The league's players will be equipped with custom Xbox 360 consoles, and all competition will take place on the Xbox Live online gaming service. League matches will begin this month, and conclude in May with a live finals event held in Las Vegas -- with Snoop's youth football league receiving a substantial donation on the champion's behalf.

London - According to a report by market analysis firm Gartner, Finland's Nokia has reaffirmed its position as the world's largest producer of mobile phones, increasing its global market share from about 33% to 35%. Nokia's slice of the mobile-phone pie is nearly twice as large as that of its closest rival, Motorola(17.8%).

San Francisco - HandHeld Entertainment, a San Francisco-based maker of portable media players, said on Thursday that it has completed a reverse merger and landed $7.6 million in a private placement.

o German Digital TV Firm GIGA Raises $3.6 Million

Frankfurt - GIGA TV, a Germany-based TV broadcaster and portal owner, announced that it has raised $3.6 million in venture capital financing, led by Wellington Venture Partners. GIGA said the funding would allow it to expand its position as the largest digital TV network for the gaming and e-sports community in Europe. "This new round of financing will enable us to speed up production of content for our network and the Web, and to simultaneously link the content from the two more strongly with one another," GIGA Managing Director Jens Hilgers said.

o Wireless Investment Set to Hit All-Time High, Report Says

London - According to a new report by telecommunications research firm Visiongain, investment in wireless technologies is on the rise, bucking a general trend of venture-capital decline over the last five years. In 2005, 152 wireless-related companies received about €1 billion in funding, a 24% year-on-year increase. Visiongain predicts that investment in the industry will continue to grow, reaching an all-time high this year. "Wireless is where the action is, and this is a great time to be a wireless start-up in search of venture funding," said Visiongain analyst Lynne Gregg. "As the U.S. public markets remain weak and private equity investing grows outside the U.S., we will see many more IPOs of wireless companies taking place in the public markets outside the U.S., such as the London Stock Exchange's AIM."

St. Petersburg, Fla. - The Wikipedia Foundation has announced the creation of the one-millionth article in the English-language version of the Wikipedia online encyclopedia.

"We are thrilled that our millionth article in English is about the Jordanhill railway station," said Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales. "This is not something which would appear in a traditional encyclopedia, and it shows how Wikipedia reflects the needs and interests of people everywhere, and not just the dictates of what academics and cultural mavens claim is worthy of an encyclopedia." The 100,000th Wikipedia article was contributed on Jan. 23, 2003.

Dallas -
Blockbuster Online, the rental giant's online DVD rental service, said on Thursday that it does not "throttle" its subscribers, a reference to rival Netflix's practice of giving lower preference for delivery of titles to "heavy renters." "We don't prioritize our customers' movie fulfillment based on how often they use our service, and we don't limit the number of movies a subscriber receives each month," said Blockbuster Online senior vice president and general manager Shane Evangelist. "We want our customers to get the full entertainment value that comes from a subscription plan, whether that's watching 20-plus movies a month or five."

o The Register: Universal's Larry Kenswil on Threats to Legitimate Digital Music

New York - Threats to legitimate digital music sales today include makers of satellite radios that can record streams, ISPs offering tiered Internet pricing, and "the capitalism-is-evil crowd," like the Slashdot online community, according to Larry Kenswil, president of major label Universal Music Group's digital division. Kenswil made the comments at the Digital Music Forum, a two-day event in New York produced by Digital Media Wire, The Register reported. The Universal executive also criticized the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital civil liberties group, and similar-minded groups Zeropaid and Downhill Battle. "One wonders if they haven't got anything better to do," said Kenswil. "With all the crap going on in the world, is Sony BMG the worst corporation in the world? Is it worse than the spammers, or the people who write viruses on purpose?"
