o Apple, Automakers to Offer iPod Integration on 70% of 2007 Vehicles

Cupertino, Calif. - Apple announced on Thursday that it has signed agreements with automakers Ford, General Motors and Mazda that will offer consumers the option to include iPod connectivity on 70% of the nation's 2007 model year vehicles. Ford and GM will feature iPod integration in the majority of their 2007 models in the U.S. beginning later this year, while Mazda's entire 2007 lineup will offer the feature. The iPod connectivity features will allow users to control playback via the car's multifunction controls, while storing and charging the iPod in the glove box. The iPod connectivity kits are expected to cost new car buyers an additional about $160. Apple said it has now sold over 58 million iPods worldwide.

o AOL to Cut 5,000 Jobs Over Next Six Months

Dulles, Va. - Just one day after announcing a major shift in its business strategy, AOL said on Thursday that it will cut about 5,000 jobs -- more than a quarter of its total workforce -- over the next six months, according to published and broadcast reports. On Wednesday, the company said that it would begin offering the bulk of its subscription services for free to people with broadband connections, and plans to stop actively marketing its core dial-up service. The majority of the job cuts are expected to affect employees in marketing and customer service roles. Employees were informed of the company's plans during a company meeting and webcast on Thursday, the Associated Press reported. Separately, AOL said on Thursday that, starting in early September, it plans to make 5 GB of online storage available for free to all web users.

o Napster Reports Decline in Subscribers, Narrower Loss

Los Angeles - Napster announced on Wednesday that its paid subscriber base actually declined 7% during its fiscal first quarter, for which the company reported a narrower loss of $9.8 million, compared with a $19.9 million loss a year ago. The company blamed the loss of paid subscribers on its focused attention on a new free Web-based service that lets users listen to songs and purchase them a la carte. Revenue for the quarter increased to $28.1 million, from $21 million during the same period last year. Los Angeles-based Napster counted 512,000 subscribers -- including 4,000 at universities -- for the quarter, a 26% increase from a year ago but actually a decline of 7% from last quarter. Napster CEO Chris Gorog also said in a conference call that it has not ruled out a sale of the company, which "continue(s) to receive a lot of interest… We will carefully weigh any valuation alternative against the opportunity and risk associated with continuing as a stand-alone company."

o ABC: 16 Million TV Episodes Streamed During Two-Month Test

New York - Disney's ABC television network said on Thursday that over 16 million episodes of TV shows including "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" were streamed for free from its website during a two-month test of the service in May and June. ABC said research conducted by Magid Associates found that most episodes were streamed within 24 hours of their broadcast premiere, and two-thirds of users viewed the entire episode. The average age of viewers on ABC.com was 29, and 79% of those surveyed reported a positive online viewing experience. ABC plans to re-launch the service in the fall, once again placing ads within the free online TV episodes. "We have been extremely pleased with the consumer feedback from the trial, and are busy working on some minor adjustments to the broadband player in order to again make full episodes available to consumers this fall," said Albert Cheng, executive vice president of digital media at Disney-ABC Television Group. "When we re-launch, the basic concept of ad-supported, free to the consumer full-length episodes will return along with some added features to enhance the consumer experience."

o Major Label EMI Names Barney Wragg Head of Digital Operations

London - Major record label EMI Music has hired Barney Wragg as head of digital operations for EMI Music Worldwide. Wragg was formerly a senior vice president at eLabs, Universal Music Group's digital division, where he was responsible for the international operations of the unit. EMI recently saw the departures of two key digital executives, Ted Cohen and Adam Klein.

"We are very pleased that Barney is joining EMI to lead the next phase in the evolution of our digital strategy," said EMI chairman Alain Levy.

o Report: IPTV Subscribers Set to Skyrocket to 63 Million in 2010

El Segundo, Calif. - The worldwide subscriber base for Internet-based TV (IPTV) services is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 92.1% over the next four years, from 2.4 million in 2005 to more than 63 million in 2010, according to a report from market research firm iSuppli. Overall IPTV service revenue is expected to reach $27 billion in 2010; value-added media services and IPTV operator advertising are projected to account for 14% of this revenue. "The fight to capture the expanding base of IPTV subscribers will put telecom operators on a collision course with existing pay-TV market competitors and with a new class of broadband video portals as they roll-out progressively more sophisticated offerings," said Mark Kirstein, vice president of multimedia content and services for iSuppli.
