o FCC Rules Telcos Need Not Share DSL Lines With Competitors

Washington -- In a ruling delivered on Friday, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) said that telephone companies that provide DSL Internet access no longer have to lease their high-speed broadband lines to competitors. The FCC's 4-0 vote could force many smaller Internet service providers out of business, while others like EarthLink and AOL will be forced to pay more to telephone companies to use their lines. Implementation of the ruling was postponed for one year, so that ISPs can inform customers of the changes and make preparations. The FCC's DSL ruling follows a recent Supreme Court decision that similarly said that cable TV providers do not have to open their high-speed networks to competition. FCC chairman Kevin Martin called the ruling "an explicit recognition that the telecommunications marketplace that exists today is vastly different from the one governed by regulators over 30 years ago." Consumer groups worried the ruling will lead to higher broadband prices. "The FCC has solidified a mano-a-mano match between … the cable and telephone companies," Consumers Union policy director Kenneth DeGraff told The Washington Post. "When consumers have fewer choices, prices will rise."

o Yahoo Among First to Adopt More Accurate Ad Measurement System

Sunnyvale, Calif. -- Yahoo on Monday announced that it has begun using a new advertising measurement and reporting system, which will for the first time count only ads that have been delivered to users. Unlike most other ad reporting technologies, which count an impression once an ad leaves the advertiser's server, Yahoo's will now only count ads once graphics contained in them are displayed on a user's computer. Graphics contained in pop-up ads blocked by a user's computer, for instance, will not be counted under the new system. "We believe Yahoo's new platform raises the bar significantly for media measurement by employing a standard that is not available in any other media -- to measure even more accurately if an advertisement has been viewed by a consumer," said Todd Teresi, Yahoo vice president of operations. The new system is based on guidelines developed by the Interactive Advertising Bureau's (IAB) Global Internet Ad Impression Measurement task force. Other sites that have completed implementation of the new system include CNET Networks, Weather.com and Univision; companies committed to becoming certified include Disney, AOL, MSN, The New York Times and DoubleClick.

o Fox Interactive Media Acquires Online Sports Network Scout.com

Los Angeles -- Fox Interactive Media, the newly-formed Internet unit of News Corporation, announced that it has acquired independent online sports network Scout.com. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The deal comes less than a month after Fox Interactive Media paid $580 million to acquire Intermix Media, the parent company of social networking site MySpace.com. Launched in 2001 with backing from former NFL quarterback Bernie Kosar, Scout Media operates a network of more than 200 websites and publishes 47 niche magazines on pro, college and high school sports teams. The company claims a subscriber base of over 200,000, and a Web audience of 2.4 million unique monthly visitors. "The addition of Scout Media will give Fox the ability to provide the deepest, most sweeping sports coverage on the web. It will also bring extensive print reach and a direct connection to the extremely loyal subscriber base that has contributed to Scout’s impressive growth," said Fox Interactive Media president Ross Levinsohn.

o Report: Cisco Considering Possible Acquisition of Nokia

London -- The Business newspaper in Britain reported on Sunday that Cisco Systems, the large networking company, is considering an acquisition of Finnish wireless technology company Nokia. Reuters quoted a Nokia executive who called the report "pure fabrication based on rumors on the Internet." The report caused both companies' stock price to rise modestly on Monday amid speculation of a possible deal. Without naming its sources, the article reported that John Chambers, the CEO of Cisco, is interested in merging his company with a major wireless infrastructure company. The U.K. newspaper reported that Nokia has been identified as the most likely target; various stock analysts have discounted the report, noting that Cisco traditionally acquires niche companies, rather than major technology platform providers.

o Report: Nearly 50 Million Americans Visited Blogs in First Quarter

Reston, Va. -- Nearly 50 million Americans -- or about 30% of the total U.S. Internet population -- visited weblogs, or "blogs," during the first quarter, according to a new report from comScore Networks. The number of visitors increased 45% from the previous year. "The fact that we found 30% of the online population to have visited blogs clearly underscores the commercial importance of consumer generated and driven media," said Dan Hess, senior vice president of comScore Networks. The firm said that blogs of a political nature were generally the most popular, followed by "hipster" lifestyle blogs, tech blogs and blogs authored by women. The report also found that, compared with the average Internet user, blog readers are significantly more likely to live in wealthier households, be younger and access the web on high-speed connections.
