o Apple CEO Calls Labels' Desire to Increase Download Pricing "Greedy"

Paris -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs on Tuesday rebuffed record labels' desire to increase the price for downloadable songs from iTunes and other digital music stores, citing the need to keep prices where they are so that consumers will still pay instead of turning to free file-sharing services, Reuters reported. "If they want to raise the prices, it means that they (record labels) are getting greedy," Jobs said at a news conference in Paris. "If the price goes up, they (consumers) will go back to piracy and everybody loses." Jobs also cast doubt on mobile music downloads, a market eyed as potentially lucrative by both record labels and wireless network operators. "It is not clear that buying songs over the air makes economic sense," Jobs said. "I am skeptical because of the cost...but we will see." Apple recently unveiled a music phone joint collaboration with Motorola and Cingular, which allows users to transfer songs directly from a PC, instead of purchasing them from wireless carriers for download to phones. The company is also rumored to be developing a completely Apple-designed mobile phone handset, which Jobs declined to comment on at the conference.

o Report: Consumers Willing to Pay More for Mobile Music Downloads

Port Washington, N.Y. -- The mobile music market will mature greatly in 2006, as 56% of teens and 20% of all respondents overall are currently interested in purchasing an MP3-capable phone, according to a report from market research firm NPD Group. Additionally, the survey found that consumers are willing to pay more for songs downloaded to mobile phones ($1.75) than they cost when purchased from online stores (99 cents). More than half said they'd like to be able to add songs from a PC to a music phone, while 37% said they would rather pay to download songs directly to their phones. Among other emerging mobile music services, 25% said they were interested in ringback tones, while 21% indicated interest in accessing satellite radio channels on their phones. Sixty-one percent of mobile phones on the market are now capable of downloading ringtones, and NPD found that ringtone purchasers have doubled over the past year, from 9% to 17% of those surveyed. "Mobile music is poised to be the breakout content category of 2006," said Clint Wheelock, NPD vice president of wireless research. "With a major emphasis and heavy promotion by wireless carriers, device manufacturers, and the music industry itself, you can bet that consumers will be hearing a lot about new music services."

o Google May Be Set to Launch Wi-Fi Internet Service

Mountain View, Calif. -- Google is apparently preparing to launch a new wireless Internet service. The company makes vague references to a service, called Google
WiFi on several areas of its website, though offers few details. The company is now offering a beta download of its "Google Secure Access" software, which it says is allows users to "establish a more secure connection while using Google WiFi." Industry buzz about such a move has circulated for several weeks, since Business 2.0 magazine wrote that Google's jump into the service provider arena "could become a reality." The news sent Google shares up about 1.4% in Tuesday's trading.

o Court Orders China's Baidu to Remove MP3 Links; Search Firm Plans Appeal

Beijing -- Baidu, China's most popular search engine, was ordered by a Chinese court on Monday to stop providing links to illegal music download sites, the result of a lawsuit filed by a Chinese joint venture of major record label EMI, according to published reports. Baidu, which faces similar lawsuits from the world's other major record labels, said on Tuesday it plans to appeal the ruling. "We believe that the district court order was based on a misunderstanding of the search engine technology and therefore is without merit," Baidu lawyer Decheng Li said in a statement. In addition to removing the links in question to illegal downloads of EMI songs, Baidu was ordered by the Beijing court to pay $8,400 to the label -- $247 for each of the 34 copyrights infringed in the complaint. "We believe the district court's order would constitute an unfair restriction on the search engine, legitimate multimedia file owners as well as Internet search users," Li added. Baidu's stock is now trading at nearly triple the price of its Aug. 5 IPO on the Nasdaq.

o AOL to Debut New Internet Phone Service

Dulles, Va. -- Hoping to turn the tide on its dwindling membership base, America Online said on Tuesday that it will begin rolling out its newly enhanced Internet phone (Voice over Internet Protocol) service in early October. The company said that its TotalTalk service, which will allow subscribers with high-speed Internet connections to make comparatively inexpensive phone calls, will debut on Oct. 4. AOL said that customers needn't subscribe to its Internet service, and current AOL Internet Phone subscribers will be upgraded to the new offering automatically. The service will include free PC-to-PC and PC-to-phone capabilities, voice, email and instant messaging, enhanced voicemail and call management capabilities. It will also give users the ability to make and receive calls on a home phone line from anywhere they have access to AOL's AIM instant messenger.

o Report: Country Flocked to New Orleans Media Sites

Reston, Va. -- Americans seeking online news and information about Hurricane Katrina went straight to the source, dramatically increasing visitation to New Orleans' local media outlets in August, according to a new report from comScore Media Metrix. NOLA.com, the website of the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper, saw its traffic increase by 277% from July to 1.7 million visitors, with 61% of the site's visitors residing in parts of the country safely located outside the storm's path. Meanwhile, New Orleans' CBS affiliate WWL-TV saw traffic to its site, WWLTV.com, increase by 258% to 878,000. "Sites with specific local content rarely see this kind of growth, but the Internet allowed the entire nation to access information straight from the epicenter of the disaster," said Peter Daboll, the president and CEO of comScore Media Metrix.

Huntington Beach, Calif. -- Glam Media on Tuesday announced the launch of Glam.com, an entertainment website that combines fashion content with online shopping, and features editorial staffers from Vogue, In Style, Elle, Harper's and The New York Times.

o Report: Local Radio Websites Should Integrate Podcasts, Ringtones

New York -- A survey of 35,000 radio listeners found that local radio stations would do well to better integrate their websites, and offer streaming channels, podcasts and ringtones to cater to growing interest from the key 18-29 year-old demographic. The MediaSpan study, performed by Frank N. Magid Associates, shows that 40% of these radio listeners access streaming radio stations weekly; 28% said they downloaded music monthly, with 14% saying they "purchased" their songs; 11% said they downloaded podcasts monthly, and 26% said they download ringtones every month. Many of the survey respondents, who were culled from 73 radio station websites, said they would download this content from radio station sites if it were available. "The study clearly showed that on-air radio has a complementary audience, online that is young, affluent, highly attractive to advertisers, and looking for unique content," said MediaSpan's Mark Zagorski. "In order for stations to renew and grow their audience relationships with a new generation of listeners, they will need to incorporate new media activities such as podcasts, streaming and integrated music downloads into their daily on-air and online programming."

o Yahoo CEO Calls for U.K. Programs for Internet TV

London -- Yahoo CEO Terry Semel announced that he is planning to develop an international Internet TV network and invited U.K. broadcasters to provide programs that his company could distribute. Speaking at the Royal Television Society's Cambridge Convention, Semel said he wanted work with U.K. broadcasters to unlock their archives as part of a strategy to be "not a product company," but a "major distribution platform." Semel also urged independent producers to think of Yahoo as an outlet for new programming. "I don't think that Yahoo or any other Internet company should try to become a television network," Semel said. "We will be nowhere if we have to create our own content." Yahoo said it expects to have more than 200 million active users by year's end using services such as mail or Web hosting.

(Los Angeles) The New York Times on Tuesday reported on New Venture PR, a public relations firm that focuses on technology and new media companies, utilizing a rare business model of taking a stake in the companies it represents instead of industry standard retainer fees.

"There's nothing like everyone sitting at the table being equally vested, rather than working at a big P.R. firm…Sure you'll write a press release and put it on the wire, but you're not passionate about it," New Venture PR co-founder Hal Bringman told The Times. However, some are skeptical of the business model. "If you have a personal financial interest in the story, I think it's too easy for human beings to find themselves in a position of compromising their values," Stanton Communications managing director Deborah Redman told The Times.
