o TiVo Gets 3-Year Extension of
DirecTV Service Deal
Alviso, Calif. - TiVo announced on Wednesday that it has
signed a three-year extension of an agreement to provide its digital
video recorder service to satellite TV firm DirecTV. Financial terms
of the deal were not disclosed. As part of the agreement, the two
companies also agreed not to assert patent rights against one
another; TiVo is currently embroiled in a digital video recorder
patent lawsuit with DirecTV rival EchoStar Communications. DirecTV,
which has moved to deploy its own digital video recorder set-top to
its subscribers, will continue to service existing DirecTV receivers
with TiVo service. "We are pleased to have reached an agreement with
DirecTV that will allow us to continue to provide our service to the
more than 2 million DirecTV TiVo households," said TiVo CEO Tom
Rogers.

o Social
Networking Site Meetup.com Gets $2 Million Investment from eBay
New York - Meetup.com, a social networking site used by
many grassroots political groups, said in an SEC filing that it has
received a $2 million investment from online auctioneer eBay. New
York-based Meetup.com announced last month that investors including
eBay, eBay founder Pierre Omidyar's Omidyar Network, Draper Fisher
Jurvetson, Esther Dyson, Allen & Company and Senator Bill Bradley
had acquired a 10% stake in the company. The revelation of eBay's
stake was made to dispel any notion of conflict with its founder's
investments. Since gaining attention during the 2004 presidential
election, the Meetup.com's users have grown to include groups
created by mothers, dog owners and NASCAR fans, who use the service
to organize real-world meetings.

o Report:
Iceland Now Leads World in Broadband Penetration
Paris - Iceland now leads the world in broadband
penetration, with 26.7% of those accessing the Internet in the
country via a high-speed connection, according to a report from the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
Iceland edged out long-time leader Korea (25.4%), as well as the
Netherlands and Denmark, all of whom now claim greater than 25%
broadband penetration. The U.S. ranked twelfth, with 16.8%, just
behind Japan (17.6%). Overall, the OECD reports that the number of
broadband subscriptions among its 30 member countries grew from 136
million in June 2005 to 158 million by December 2005. The U.S. has
the largest total number of broadband subscribers in the OECD, with
49 million, accounting for 31% of all OECD broadband connections.

o Web
Traffic to Sirius Site Now Outpacing Traffic to XM
Washington - Buoyed by the debut of radio shock jock
Howard Stern, for the first time, more people visited the web site
of Sirius Satellite Radio since January than that of rival XM
Satellite Radio, according to new figures from Internet research
firm Nielsen//NetRatings. The firm said that Sirius' site drew 2.3
million unique visitors in January, beating XM by about 700,000.
Sirius also continued to outpace XM in both February and March,
though traffic to XM's site also grew sharply over the previous
year. "While Sirius has seen significant growth specifically due to
Howard Stern's programming, both services benefit from individuals
going to their site, not just to sign up for service, but also to
listen to content while they are without their players," said Jon
Gibs, the senior director of media at Nielsen//NetRatings.

Playacting
San Francisco - CNET News.com on Wednesday reported on the

avatars -- and no actual children -- "Second Life" developer Linden
Lab told CNET News.com it would respond to the issue if a critical
mass of members were to ask that something be done about the sexual
roleplaying.
