o Survey: Web is Top Daytime
Media, No. 2 at Home
New York - The Web dominates media users' workday, and is
also the second most-popular form of media at home, according to a
survey conducted by Ball State University's Center for Media Design
for the Online Publishers Association. The media usage of 350
participants -- who were between the ages of 18 and 50+ and split
evenly across age and race -- was monitored every 15 seconds for 13
hours. At work, the Web reached 54.6% of participants, compared with
21.1% for TV; the report estimated that 17% of overall media
consumption was via the Internet. "Based on our real-world
observations, it is clear that consumers are consistently online
even while they're watching TV or listening to the radio," said OPA
president Pam Horan. "Industry data shows that the Web takes up
between 20 and 25 percent of consumers' overall media time, but
attracts about 8 percent of advertising dollars. While advertisers
have been steadily moving to the Web in recent years, this research
indicates the shift should be on a much faster pace."

o Swedish Movie
Download Site The Pirate Bay Back Up, After Police Raid
Stockholm - A Swedish website that was shut down last week
after authorities seized servers as part of a piracy investigation
is back up and running, Reuters reported. The Pirate Bay, a site
that provides links to music and movie files on the BitTorrent
peer-to-peer network, is now functioning off of servers in the
Netherlands. Over the weekend, hackers attacked websites for
Sweden's police and government, in apparent retaliation for the raid
on The Pirate Bay, while hundreds took to the streets and flew
pirate flags in a demonstration in Stockholm. The raids on The
Pirate Bay by Swedish authorities were undertaken after a formal
complaint was filed by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA),
whose member studios' films are available through links from the
BitTorrent tracker site.

Launches Test of Web-based Spreadsheets Service
Mountain View, Calif. - Google on Tuesday launched a
limited test of its new Web-based spreadsheets service. The service,
known as Google Spreadsheets, allows users to create, store and
share basic spreadsheets on the web. The company said that the free
service, available to a limited number of users at labs.google.com,
is ideal for users who create spreadsheets that need to be shared or
updated by several contributors. The service allows users to access
the spreadsheets from any computer, and without installing any
software on a local computer.

o Report:
Worldwide Online Games Market to Reach $13 Billion in 2011
San Diego - Increased broadband penetration and greater
numbers of PCs and connected game consoles will push the worldwide
market for online games from $3.4 billion in 2005 to over $13
billion in 2011, according to a report from market research firm DFC
Intelligence. The online games market includes both subscriptions to
massively multiplayer online games like "World of Warcraft,"
expected to remain the leading online games category, and the
expansion of digital distribution of games, through direct sales to
PCs and next-generation to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo
Wii. DFC also anticipates growth for digital distribution in the
form of item sales for casual games, which typically generate most
revenue from advertising. "Digital distribution and virtual item
sales have started to do very well in certain Asian markets and
these distribution models are expected to start having increased
success on an international basis," said DFC analyst Alexis
Madrigal.

Digital Terrestrial TV Firm Digi TV Plus Raises $48.8 Million
New York - Baker Capital, a venture capital firm focused
on digital communications, announced on Tuesday that it has led a
$48.8 million investment in Finland-based digital TV provider Digi
TV Plus. Finland plans to transition from analog to digital TV
broadcasting in August 2007. Digi TV Plus plans to launch its PlusTV
digital terrestrial TV network in November, and will be the
exclusive distributor of MTV in one million Finnish terrestrial
households. Other channels will be added as the company nears its
full commercial launch in late August 2007. "In connection with the
digitalization of television, the selection of channels available to
all domestic households will increase significantly," said PlusTV
CEO Vesa Mars. "The change will be felt the most in terrestrial
households, which until now have had a much smaller selection to
choose from compared to households with access to cable." New
York-based Baker Capital's other investments include Sand Video and
Canal+ Television.
