o AP: Judge to Order Google to Turn Over Portion of Internet Records

Mountain View, Calif. - A federal judge on Tuesday said that he will order Google to turn over a portion of its Internet records subpoenaed by the Justice Department as part of the Bush administration's effort to revive a law intended to restrict minors' access to online pornography. The Associated Press reported that U.S. District Judge James Ware plans to order Google to turn over some of the requested records -- including a random list of web sites indexed by the company -- but expressed reservations about requiring the company to divulge actual requests entered into its search engine. Ware said that he was "particularly concerned" about creating the perception of Internet search engines turning into tools of surveillance for the government. The Justice Department is asking to see a random sampling of one million searches conducted on Google over a one-week period as part of its effort to revive the 1998 Child Online Protection Act (COPA), designed to protect minors from sexually explicit material.

o France Seeking to Open iTunes to Other Devices

Paris - According to Reuters, France is on the verge of passing a new law that would force Apple Computer to allow consumers using its iTunes online music store to download songs to devices other than iPods. The law, on which Parliament will vote later this week, would essentially allow consumers to use software that converts digital content into any format, thereby allowing users to crack digital rights management codes legally. "It will force some proprietary systems to be opened up," Christian Vanneste, a senior parliamentarian, told Reuters. "You have to be able to download content and play it on any device." So far, Apple has declined to comment on the report.

o Report: U.S. Broadband Users Spending More Time Online

New York - As more and more Americans switch to broadband connections, the amount of time they are spending online also continues to rise, according to a new report from Nielsen//NetRatings. The firm said that since February 2003, the average PC time per person among active Internet users has increased by about five hours a month, from 25.5 hours to 30.5 hours. During that same period, the number of U.S. broadband users has more than doubled. Jon Gibs, the senior director of media for Nielsen//NetRatings, credited the increase in time spent online to "broadband users' greater satisfaction with their online experience."

o Report: VoIP Slowly Gaining Ground in Residential Phone Market

San Francisco - Home telephone users are slowly making the switch to Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) technology, according to a new study by San Francisco-based Telephia, a provider of market research to the communications and mobile industries. The firm said that overall penetration for VoIP increased to 3.5%, or nearly 3.9 million households, in January, up from 2.9% in June 2005. Vonage led the market with nearly 1.9 million customers, followed by Skype, AT&T and Verizon. "With more of the population converting to high-speed Internet connections, it opens up an opportunity for VoIP providers to gain a significant foothold in the market," said Kanishka Agarwal, Telephia's vice president of new products.
