o House Approves Bill Facilitating Telecom Digital TV Services

Washington - The U.S. House voted 321-101 on Thursday in favor of allowing telecom providers like AT&T and Verizon to apply for a nationwide license to offer digital TV services. Currently, telecoms must apply for licenses in each city or county in which they seek to offer services like Verizon's FiOS TV. Proponents say the bill will increase competition with cable TV providers, providing consumers with more choices and lower prices. Also included is a provision that would allow broadband providers to charge more to companies wishing to put their content on a faster Internet connection to subscribers -- in opposition to backers of the idea of "Net neutrality," where all content is treated equally by Internet service providers. The House bill must now be brought in line with a Senate bill that contains much different language -- which may not be accomplished in the election-year Congressional session.

o Report: U.S. Video Game Sales Down 10.2% in May

New York - U.S. video game sales fell 10.2% in May, with console game sales down 4.5% and titles for handheld systems down 22.7% from the same period a year ago, Forbes.com reported, citing data from NPD Funworld and Cowen & Co. Sales of games for current-generation consoles declined 25.7%. The top-selling titles during the month included Nintendo's "New Super Mario Bros." and "Brain Age" for its DS handheld. Despite the industry downturn, U.S. publishers Electronic Arts, Activision and Take-Two Interactive all saw significant gains in May.

o Sweden, Norway, U.K. Petition Apple to Open iTunes to iPod Rivals

Paris - Several European countries this week filed legal complaints against Apple, over the company's refusal to let songs purchased from its iTunes Store play on devices other than its iPod players, The New York Times reported. Government consumer protection groups in Norway and Sweden have said the service violates their laws, and Denmark is expected to follow suit. Apple spokesman Fredrik Hallstan told a Norwegian news website that the company hopes to settle the complaints, rather than shutter its iTunes stores in Scandinavia. The British Phonographic Institute (BPI), the U.K.'s version of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), also petitioned Apple this week to open its digital music store to rival portable devices. "European regulators are clearly concerned that consumers need to get a fair deal when they buy music online," Struan Robertson, a British-based technology lawyer at Pinsent Masons, told The Times. "Since we share very similar competition laws across the E.U., a domino effect could cause changes across the Continent."

o Amsterdam Launches Treatment Center for Video Game Addicts

Amsterdam - A drug treatment center in The Netherlands has opened Europe's first detox clinic for video game addicts, the Associated Press reported. Amsterdam-based Smith & Jones Addiction Consultants has already treated 20 addicts since January in its program, which runs four-to-eight weeks and includes therapy sessions and focus on alternative activities. The center's director, Keith Bakker, told the AP that playing games produces endorphins in gamers' brains that creates a drug-like high, adding he has seen withdrawal symptoms including shaking and sweating when game addicts see a computer. "We have kids who don't know how to communicate with people face-to-face because they've spent the last three years talking to somebody in Korea through a computer," Bakker said. "Their social network has completely disappeared."

o iPod Chipmaker PortalPlayer Cuts 45 Jobs Following Apple Setback

San Jose, Calif. - Nearly two months after learning that Apple won't be using its latest chips in its flash-based iPod Nano players, PortalPlayer said that it has cut 45 jobs, or about 14% of its workforce. The majority of the cuts have taken place in the company's U.S. operations. "In light of the product transition setback we announced on April 19th… we have re-organized our operations to focus on our key initiatives," said Gary Johnson, the president and CEO of PortalPlayer. The company, which makes chips for personal media players, said that it expects to save $6-$7 million a year as a result of the cuts, which are in addition to conservative spending measures that it put in place earlier in the year.

o Louisiana Governor Likely to Sign Video Game Bill Passed in Senate

Baton Rogue, La. - The Louisiana State Senate has passed a bill banning the sale of violent video games to minors, which puts games to a similar legal test as that used to determine obscenity. The bill, which was co-authored by Jack Thompson -- an attorney who has frequently criticized the video game industry -- would provide penalties for retailers who sell such games to minors of up to a year in jail and $2,000 in fines. The Louisiana State House has already approved the bill, which will now go before Gov. Kathleen Blanco, who is expected to sign it into law. The video game industry's Entertainment Software Association (ESA) is then also expected to sue to have the proposed law overturned, as it has done successfully in a number of other states.

o DirecTV, DISH Network to Offer Satellite-based Broadband Internet

Denver - The nation's two top satellite TV providers -- DirecTV and DISH Network -- announced on Friday that they have signed agreements with WildBlue Communications that will enable them to offer satellite-based Internet services. Denver-based WildBlue currently provides satellite-based broadband Internet access to consumers and businesses in rural areas and small cities.

o Warner Music Japan Acquires Stake in Mobile Broadcast Firm FrontMedia

London - Warner Music Japan announced this week that it has acquired a minority stake in FrontMedia, a Japanese developer of hybrid radio and mobile broadcast services. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In addition to the capital, Warner Music Japan will provide music content to FrontMedia, in exchange for the opportunity to use the company's mobile audio and video broadcasting applications.

Founded in 2005, FrontMedia operates a hybrid broadcasting platform that is offered through Japanese wireless carriers NTT DoCoMo, Vodafone and KDDI.
