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.
