o AOL to Offer Free Software,
E-mail to Broadband Users
Dulles, Va. - In a major shift in policy designed to lure
advertisers, media giant Time Warner said on Wednesday that it will
make the software and e-mail of AOL available for free to broadband
users. Other tools, such as tools for Internet safety and security,
also will be made available for no charge. The move comes after AOL
has lost several million of its core dial-up subscribers in recent
years either to broadband providers or less expensive dial-up
companies. "This is the next logical step for AOL to capitalize
further on the explosive rise in broadband usage and online
advertising," said Jeff Bewkes, the president and COO of Time
Warner. "We expect to put AOL back on a growth path." The strategy
is considered risky by some analysts, since 80% of AOL's current
revenue is derived from subscriptions, which cost $25.90 a month.
Though the company still will offer subscriptions, it is expected to
significantly cut back on marketing and customer service, likely
eliminating thousands of jobs. AOL currently has 18.5 million
subscribers, down from about 26.5 million in 2002. The plan is
expected to be fully implemented by early September.

o XM Satellite Radio
Signs Advertising Pact with Google
Washington - XM Satellite Radio, a provider of satellite
radio service to more than 7 million subscribers, said on Wednesday
that it has struck a deal that will allow advertising clients of
Google to place targeted ads on XM's non-music channels. Using
Google's dMarc ad technology platform, which the company acquired in
January, advertisers will be able to automatically schedule and
insert ads across several XM channels, then track their campaigns.
Google has been testing the platform over the past several months,
and plans to integrate it into its AdWords service during the fourth
quarter. Ryan Steelberg, Google's head of radio operations, called
the partnership with XM "a powerful marketing and distribution tool
for Google advertisers."

o Coke,
Apple to Give Away 70 Million iTunes Songs in Europe
London - Coca-Cola announced on Wednesday that it has
partnered with Apple on a promotion that will give away more than 70
million iTunes song downloads and hundreds of iPods in Europe. Apple
said that its iTunes Stores in Europe have now sold a combined total
of 200 million songs, with 150 million sold in just the past year.
Coca-Cola recently shuttered MyCokeMusic.com, its branded digital
music store available in Europe. The promotion with Apple coincides
with the launch of a new Coke-branded music website across Europe.
The site features iTunes integration throughout, and the ability for
unsigned artists in the U.K., Germany, Austria and Switzerland to
upload songs and win the chance to play at Coke-sponsored European
festivals. The promotion will give away 70 million iTunes songs in
the U.K., launching later this month in promotional packs of
Coca-Cola and Diet Coke. The companies will also give away thousands
of iTunes songs and hundreds of iPods in Germany, in a promotion
launching in September. Coca-Cola said that promotions in additional
countries across Europe will roll out in coming months.

o Report: 65% of
Adults Who Own Cars, MP3 Players Listen While Driving
Detroit - Nearly two-thirds (65%) of adults who own both
cars and MP3 players use an adapter to listen to digital music while
driving, according to a report from market research firm Harris
Interactive. Overall, about one in 10 adult car owners also owns an
MP3 player. The percentage who listen in the car is even higher
(72%) among 25 to 44 year-olds. "This means that vehicle
manufacturers need to pay specific attention to the types of
vehicles these buyers are interested in and equip the audio systems
accordingly," said Harris Interactive senior director Bryan
Krulikowski. "While new technologies and features typically
trickle-down from luxury vehicles to mass-market vehicles, MP3
integration may become a 'trickle-up' feature given its young user
base." The survey of nearly 13,000 adults also found that over half
(52%) of those who use an MP3 player in the car -- and 14% of all
adult car owners -- said they are extremely or very likely to
consider purchasing an MP3 audio system interface technology for
their next vehicle. Among technologies, an auxiliary jack located on
the car stereo itself was most favored (39%), followed by Bluetooth
(23%) or Firewire/USB connections (19%); least favored were the FM
transmitters and cassette adapters currently widely available.

o TBS,

Atlanta - Time Warner's TBS network announced on Wednesday

institutions such as Brown University, the University of Illinois,
the University of Southern California and Duke University, with a
