o America Online Launches Video Search Tool

Dulles, Va. -- Looking for an early leg up on some of its portal rivals, America Online said that it has launched a new video search tool that will allow users to search through a vast repository of content in categories from entertainment to news. AOL said that its database draws from its video on-demand archive of more than 15,000 licensed and originally produced video assets from such partners as HBO, Warner Bros. Online, New York Times Digital and About.com. Other video will come from broadcast television, the Internet -- through the company's Singingfish video and audio search engine -- and RSS feeds from video streaming sites. In conjunction with the move, AOL said that it is releasing an enhanced version of its video player, which will integrate search and programming functions. As part of its video focus, the company also said that it new AOL.com web portal, now in beta testing, will soon launch a video hub that will serve as a central location for music, news, sports and entertainment video programming. Several of AOL's rivals, including Google, Yahoo and MSN, are also developing video search tools.

o Report: Mobile Content Downloads to Triple in 2006 to $9.1 Billion

London -- Consumer demand for downloadable cell phone content is expected to triple over the next year, creating a $9.1 billion global market for mobile content, according to a report from U.K.-based market research firm LogicaCMG. About 20% of the world's 1.5 billion mobile users have already downloaded content to their phones, a figure expected to rise to 60% over the next year. Ringtones, games and music are currently the most popular downloads, with subscribers spending an average of $7.54 per month on mobile content. Ten per cent of mobile users also expect to be able to download video to their phones within the next year; 10% of Asia Pacific respondents further expect full-length movie downloads. Several concerns expressed by consumers include ease of payment, the ability to share content with friends, and security issues such as misuse of personal data. "Mobile phone users are starting to experiment with their phones' capabilities but, drawing a parallel with the popular SMS experience, it is clear that the service needs to be simple, safe and intuitive from initial browsing through to payment and download," said LogicaCMG COO Paul Gleeson.

o Shares of CNET Soar on Rumors of Possible Sale

San Francisco -- Shares of San Francisco-based CNET Networks closed up more than 10% last Thursday following reports that the technology-focused media company is shopping for a buyer. The New York Post reported that CNET has "had discussions" with Viacom and Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp, among others, and that investment banks are vying for the deal. AOL and Sunnyvale-based Yahoo are also rumored to be considering making a bid. "What makes CNET attractive is its huge amount of traffic," one source familiar with the matter told the Post. "These media companies think they can turn it into the next Google or Ask Jeeves." According to the sources, no deal is imminent.

o DirecTV Suing Comcast, Time Warner and Cox Group

Atlanta -- In a complaint filed on Thursday against In Demand, a cable TV video-on-demand and pay-per-view group owned by Comcast, Time Warner and Cox Communications, DirecTV Group alleges that the three partners are operating an illegal pricing scheme intended to hurt DirecTV's business. The complaint alleges that In Demand's high-definition digital channels INHD and INHD2 have a pricing policy that favors cable services over satellite channels. DirecTV also claims that In Demand's pricing violates a Federal Communications Commission rule that prohibits cable companies that own content from denying access to satellite competitors, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.

o Study: Consumers Increasingly Buying Electronics Online

Arlington, Va. -- Online shopping for consumer electronics products is gaining in popularity, according to a new study by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). While an average of 5% of all consumer electronics purchases are made online, certain product categories -- including personal computing, digital cameras, wireless home networking devices and portable music players -- each make more than 10% of their sales through online channels. According to more than 1,000 U.S. adults surveyed by CEA, online consumer electronics shoppers report higher satisfaction with the purchase process than those who visited traditional brick and mortar stores, citing convenience, order accuracy, product variety, product availability and product information among the top reasons. The survey also found that consumers who buy at least some of their products online spend 67% more each year than those who do not make any purchases online. On average, the online buyer spent $1,500 on consumer electronics purchases, with 29% of that spent over the Internet.
