o MySpace Appoints Former U.S.
Prosecutor as Chief Security Officer
Santa Monica, Calif. - Social networking site MySpace, a
unit of Fox Interactive Media, announced on Tuesday that it has
appointed Hemanshu Nigam as chief security officer, who will oversee
safety, education and privacy programs as well as law enforcement
affairs for both MySpace and other Fox Interactive Media properties.
Nigam previously served in a similar role at Microsoft, and has been
a federal prosecutor and an advisor to the White House on
cyberstalking. MySpace, which now claims more than 68 million
members worldwide, has come under fire lately from parents' groups
and various schools, and also received negative press for several
incidents where sexual predators assaulted minors they met on
MySpace. The Santa Monica, Calif.-based company also touted the
steps it has taken to increase privacy and security for its members.
These include setting a minimum member age of 14, and deleting
underage profiles; limiting public access to profiles of members
under 16; limiting access to adult-themed groups to those 18 or
older; working with all levels of law enforcement; and providing
parents with links to free Internet filtering software. The company
also said it partnered with the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children and the Advertising Council on a series of
national public service announcements that promote online safety.

o Trade
Groups for Video Game, Home Video Sales and Rentals to Merge
Encino, Calif. - Two industry trade groups representing
retailers and distributors of DVDs and video games -- the
Interactive Entertainment Merchants Association (IEMA) and Video
Software Dealers Association (VSDA) -- announced on Tuesday their
intention to merge. While IEMA members, which include companies that
rent and sell video games, account for 75% of the $10 billion annual
U.S. interactive entertainment business, the VSDA represents over
1,000 companies and 12,500 retail outlets within the $24 billion
home video industry. "The merger will create a more efficient and
influential organization to serve the needs of video and video game
retailers and distributors," said IEMA chairman Rick Vergara. "The
interests of the membership of the two associations are so closely
aligned that we expect a seamless integration."

o Fujitsu,
NEC Announce Release Details for Blu-ray, HD DVD PCs
Tokyo - Japanese electronics firm Fujitsu announced on
Tuesday that it will introduce its first PCs with Sony's
next-generation Blu-ray Disc drives in June in Japan, becoming the
first company to release a Blu-ray-compatible PC, Reuters reported.
Fujitsu will also in June begin selling PCs equipped with rival HD
DVD technology, developed by Toshiba. Fujitsu's Blu-ray PC, which
comes with a 37-inch LCD screen, is expected to sell for about
$5,000 in Japan. Sony plans to release its own VAIO PCs with Blu-ray
Disc drives sometime in early summer. Meanwhile, fellow Japanese
electronics firm NEC said on Tuesday that it will introduce its
first HD DVD PCs in the fall of 2006, adding that it may also ship
PCs with Blu-ray technology if demand exists.

o Danny DeVito,
ClickStar to Launch Broadband Documentary Channel
Santa Monica, Calif. - ClickStar, a broadband
entertainment service whose backers include actor Morgan Freeman and
Intel, has announced that actor Danny DeVito will launch Jersey
Docs, a ClickStar channel featuring documentaries from around the
world. "These stories never get seen. They go on the circuit, but I
always have to go hunting for them," DeVito told The Hollywood
Reporter. "We're going to democratize documentaries for the people…
Whether they're globally or sociologically or politically motivated,
we all love comedy and drama, but the human experience has all that
and more." While DeVito will provide artistic direction, ClickStar
will handle all aspects of documentary acquisition and distribution
for Jersey Docs, which will enable users with Intel Viiv-based PCs
to watch the films on their home televisions.

o Report:
Consumer Adoption of New Media to Boost Media Revenues
Monterey, Calif. - Consumer adoption of new media
technologies will significantly boost media revenues in 2006 and
beyond, with the online ad market projected to grow from $14.5
billion in revenue this year to $33.4 billion by 2016, according to
a report from market research firm Kagan Research. In addition to
the 8.7% compound annual growth rate forecasted for online ad
revenue, the firm also predicts gains in the wireless data and
satellite radio industries. Wireless data services -- which include
mobile song and ringtone downloads, and mobile TV -- will grow from
$8.4 billion and 7% of total wireless service revenue in 2005, to
$46.6 billion and 24% of all wireless revenue by 2014. For satellite
radio, Kagan estimates that the cost for XM and Sirius to acquire
new subscribers will drop from $95 per subscriber in 2005, to $49 in
2010 and $37 by 2014. "The survivors will be the ones who figure out
how to embrace the new and bring their media into the digital age,"
said Kagan senior analyst Deana Myers.
