o President Bush Names Kevin Martin
To Head FCC
Washington -- The White House announced on Wednesday that
38-year-old Kevin Martin has been named to lead the Federal
Communications Commission, which has decided a number of
groundbreaking telecommunications issues in recent years. Martin,
who will replace Michael Powell, has served as an FCC Commissioner
since 2001. Prior to his appointment to the FCC, he worked at the
White House and served as a deputy general counsel on Bush's first
campaign. Martin and Powell -- both Republicans -- were on different
sides on a 2003 decision over how to promote competition among Baby
Bell companies and their competitors. Some consumer groups and media
watchdogs were critical of Martin's nomination. "Religious and
conservative groups campaigned for the elevation of Mr. Martin [and]
have succeeded in establishing a new 'litmus' test for the FCC chair
-- someone who will be at the forefront of monitoring programming,"
Jeff Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital
Democracy, told the Los Angeles Times.

o Reuters: FTC
to Block Blockbuster Bid for Hollywood Video Rental Chain
Washington -- The Federal Trade Commission is planning to take
Blockbuster to court to block its takeover bid of No. 2 video rental
chain Hollywood Video, sources close to the case told Reuters on
Wednesday. Blockbuster's general counsel, Edward Stead, told Reuters
he believes FTC staff are opposed to the deal, adding, "It's
apparent to us that they're living in the past -- we need an
objective (judge) to get at this." While the FTC has until March 21
to take action, Hollywood has already rejected Blockbuster's
takeover offer, in favor of a rival bid from Alabama-based Movie
Gallery, the nation's third-largest video rental chain -- which the
FTC has already green-lighted.

o Content
Delivery Network Akamai Acquires Rival Speedera for $130 Million
Cambridge, Mass. -- Content delivery network Akamai Technologies
announced on Wednesday that it has acquired rival Speedera Networks,
in an all-stock transaction valued at about $130 million.
Massachusetts-based Akamai expects the purchase to enable it to
better compete against larger managed service providers, as well as
offer a broader range of services to its customers. Both companies
provide technology that speeds the delivery of content across the
Internet, such as software applications, Web ads and online video.
The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2005.

o MPAA Hails
Anti-Piracy Raid on Swedish ISP Bahnhof
Los Angeles -- The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)
has hailed an anti-piracy raid conducted by Swedish authorities last
week on the offices of Bahnhof, the country's largest Internet
service provider. The Swedish anti-piracy group Antipiratbyran
reportedly seized four servers that housed 1,800 movies, 5,000 warez
files and 450,000 songs, in addition to data on as many as 20,000
Bahnhof users. "This was a very big raid," MPAA anti-piracy
operations director John Malcolm told Reuters. "The material that
was seized contained not only evidence of a piracy organization
operating in Sweden but of online piracy organizations operating
throughout all of Europe."

o EU
Antitrust Boss Still "Undecided" on Microsoft Compliance
Brussels -- EU Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes announced
this week that her office was still determining whether or not
Microsoftis complying with last year's ruling against the U.S.-based
software giant. Microsoft has been ordered to offer a version of its
Windows operating systems without the Media Player video and music
application. What's more, the company has had to share protocol
information with its rivals in order to improve interoperability
with their products. While Microsoft insists that it has complied
fully with the landmark ruling, Kroes told the European Parliament's
Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee on Tuesday that it was still
premature to determine whether the company had done enough to meet
her office's requirements.

o Sony to Equip
Cuban's Landmark Theatres With Digital Cinema Projectors
Las Vegas -- Movie theater exhibitor Landmark Theatres announced on
Wednesday that it has signed an agreement with Sony Electronics, to
outfit the chain's theaters for digital cinema with Sony's new
digital SXRD projectors. The independent arthouse theater chain,
owned by HDNet founder Mark Cuban's 2929 Entertainment, will equip
six theaters for digital this summer, and plans to eventually
install SXRD projectors in all 59 of its theaters in 22 markets.
"Sony's 4K digital projectors allow us to project live concerts and
sporting events, ultra high-resolution movies and presentations
created using future technologies," said Cuban. "Most important, it
provides a viewing experience for movies that far exceeds what other
theaters are doing today with 2K projectors."

o Survey: One
in Three Play Video Games while Commuting
San Francisco -- Almost one-third of all game players say they play
games during their daily travel to work, according to a survey
conducted by Trymedia Systems, a provider of secure online game
distribution technology. The company's online survey of more than
8,000 game players worldwide showed that 30% of commuters turned on
their laptops, clicked on their mobile phones or used their portable
gaming device to play games. Of those who played games to and from
work, the average length of game play was 23 minutes per trip. Among
air travellers surveyed, gaming was found to be a popular activity
aboard airplanes, alongside reading, sleeping and watching in-flight
movies. "The survey results reflect the fast-growing popularity of
games being downloaded to PC and mobile phones," said Trymedia CEO
Alex Torrubia.

the BBC last year to discuss emerging technologies and viral
advertising. "I told them they should release things before their
time, like what they've done with 'Doctor Who'," Bailey told Wired
News. BBC spokeswoman Annie Frederick denied the allegation. "The
leak of the first episode on the internet was not a publicity
stunt," said Frederick. "It was a significant breach of copyright
which is currently under investigation. The source of it appears to
be connected to our co-production partner. We would urge viewers not
to spoil their enjoyment and to wait for the finished version."

Lawrence Lessig on an update to his 1999 book, "Code and Other Laws
of Cyberspace." Lessig will invite the online community to
contribute its collective knowledge to the original work through a
JotSpot wiki website, which will be aggregated and published in a
print update of the book later this year. "There are many who have
built upon my insights and I was eager to find a way to enable those
further insights to be reflected within 'Code'," said Lessig. "JotSpot
is the perfect platform for this experiment and I have confidence
that by making 'Code' its own, the community will make 'Code'
better."
