New York - NBC Universal announced on Monday that it has signed an agreement to acquire iVillage, a website catering to women, for $600 million in cash.

o Microsoft Asks U.S. Courts to Intervene in Antitrust Case

Brussels - Microsoft announced that it has asked three U.S. federal courts to force rivals IBM, Sun Microsystems, Oracle and Novell to hand over a number of documents related to the software giant's protracted antitrust battle with the European Commission. In particular, Microsoft is seeking access to correspondence between the companies in question and NeilBarrett, the independent trustee appointed to ensure compliance with an EU decision that Microsoft abused its market position. "This evidence could (be) important for Microsoft if the Commission imposes penalties for non-compliance . . . is forced to appeal to the European Court of First Instance and the European Court of Justice," said Microsoft, which is facing a $2.4-million-a-day fine.

o AOL to Begin Selling TV Shows, User Videos Online

New York - In a bid to challenge new offerings from Apple's iTunes Store, Yahoo and Google Video, America Online plans to begin selling TV programs and other video content through its website later this year, Reuters reported on Monday. "We've been in discussion for months with every major cable and broadcast network," Kevin Conroy, executive vice president of AOL Media Networks, told Reuters. The service is expected to include both free and pay-per-download programming, as well as a subscription component, and will utilize Microsoft delivery and security technology that enables downloads to portable media players. Before the new service launches, AOL plans later this month to offer nearly 5000 vintage TV shows for free, on a service called In2TV.

o Vivendi Universal Games to Launch Mobile Games Division

Los Angeles - Vivendi Universal Games plans to launch a mobile games unit that will both develop and publish original titles, and license games from third parties based on intellectual property it owns, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The company hired Paul Maglione, formerly vice president of marketing and publishing at U.K. mobile game developer I-play, to develop the new division. "These last five years, our mother company has become extremely keen on mobile across all our divisions -- not just with Vivendi Universal Games but also SFR, which is one of the leading European wireless network carriers; Universal Music, which is the most active music company in mobile music; and the Canal+ Group, which is doing a lot of things in mobile TV. So there's a wider corporate focus on mobile which fits VUG very nicely," Maglione told THR. The mobile games unit plans to release a dozen titles in 2006, including adaptations of its "Crash Bandicoot" and "Spyro" franchises, and will also have an eye towards acquiring mobile game companies. "I think you'll see other pure-play publishers who could be acquired over the next 12 months," added Maglione.
