o EU Judge Questions Reasoning Behind
Ruling Against Microsoft
Brussels -- Some industry experts are speculating that Microsoft
could get a victory in its protracted antitrust battle with the EU
after Judge Bo Vesterdorf, president of the European Court of First
Instance, questioned both the effects and the costs of a ruling
against the U.S.-based software giant. In March, the European
Commission (EC) decided that Microsoft had violated EU antitrust
rules and ordered the company to offer a version of Windows without
Media Player. Microsoft has appealed that decision and is now asking
the court to suspend penalties levied against it until the appeal
process finishes. In the final day of a two-day hearing, Judge
Vesterdorf asked the Commission whether the measures would rein in
Microsoft or simply increase costs for others. "Isn't it dramatic to
impose a remedy to which you don't really know the result, with all
the complications it seems to bring for ISVs, OEMs (original
equipment manufacturers), for Microsoft and for (RealNetworks')
RealPlayer and not really know what will be the result?" he asked
Commission lawyers. Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith was
optimistic about his company's chances. "We go forward with all the
confidence that we had when we arrived, and we go forward with all
the conviction that we brought with us in terms of thinking that
there must be a better way to address these issues," he said.

o Firms Partner
to Standardize Digital Rights Management
Sunnyvale, Calif. -- A group of seven entertainment, technology
and consumer electronics firms have announced the formation of a
consortium that will promote interoperability between digital rights
management technologies used in the consumer media market. The Coral
Consortium -- whose members include HP, Intertrust, Philips,
Matsushita, Samsung, Sony and Fox -- will work to create a common
technology framework for content, device and service providers,
regardless of which digital rights management technologies they use.
"The classic approach to solving the interoperability problem is to
either use a single proprietary platform for media distribution, or
to standardize a common content protection and management
technology," said Coral Consortium president Jack Lacy. "Consumers
typically just want to buy, play, and use content in an intuitive
manner and do not want to dwell on differences between esoteric
technology features. Coral aims to provide them with such
functionality and ease of use."

o Sony Japan
Ditches Music CD Copy-Protection Technology
Tokyo -- Sony's Japanese record label unit has announced that it
will abandon its CD copy-protection technology as of Nov. 17, citing
more widespread consumer knowledge of copyright laws and penalties
for piracy. Sony introduced its "Label Gate" technology in January
2003, initially preventing any playback of the CDs on a PC, but
later loosened the anti-piracy technology to prevent ripping of
music CDs while allowing playback of secure files on a PC. However,
it is unclear what effect the decision will have in the U.S., where
Sony's recent record label merger partner BMG continues to release
discs that are copy-protected with technology from SunnComm. Sony
also recently announced that it had relaxed its format support for
its line of portable audio players, which will now play MP3 files in
addition to tracks encoded in Sony's proprietary ATRAC 3 format.

o Report:
China to Become Top Online Gaming Market by 2007
New York -- With a current online population of 80 million, 15.9%
of whom play online games, China is projected to become the world's
largest online gaming market by 2007, according to a report from
online gaming tournaments provider Game Trust and analyst firm The
Diffusion Group. Factors that will spur online games in China
include the reluctance of Nintendo and Sony to release consoles in
the country due to piracy fears, and the continued import of popular
Korean online game titles. The report found that 68% of Chinese
online gamers play traditional chess and card games, while 44% play
roleplaying games on a regular basis; in Internet cafes, 28% play
strategy and first person shooter titles. "We believe that 80% of
the Internet's content will be in Chinese in ten years," said Game
Trust CEO Adeo Ressi. "Presently, China is the largest online gaming
market on a per capita basis but not by dollar volume. As the China
gaming marketplace rapidly matures, we expect that economic growth
will rise in accordance with Western models. Network gaming
comprises one of the largest opportunities in the Chinese Internet
services market."

o Founders of
Hip-Hop Label Roc-A-Fella Records Launch MP3 Player Line
Los Angeles -- ROC Digital, a unit of the urban lifestyle company
that also owns hip-hop label Roc-A-Fella Records (Jay-Z, R. Kelly),
on Monday announced its foray into consumer electronics with the
launch of its ROCBOX line of MP3 players. The line includes a $299,
20GB hard drive-based player, as well as a $159, 256MB flash
memory-based player, both of which will be sold at CompUSA and
Macy's Stores beginning in mid-November. "Our first business venture
-- and the heart of what we do -- was the formation of Roc-A-Fella
Records," said Damon Dash, CEO of ROC and ROC Digital partner. "This
is a natural extension of that core that also responds to the state
of the continually evolving music marketplace." In addition to the
record label and consumer electronics unit, ROC also comprises the
Rocawear clothing line, Pro-Keds sneakers, America Magazine,
Armadale vodka and Tiret watches.

o Report:
Electronic Payments Growing at Rapid Pace
New York -- A fast-growing number of consumers are leaving their
cash in their wallets while shopping, according to new research from
market research publisher Packaged Facts. The firm said that
electronic payments are expected to grow from 33% of consumer
payments to 43% by 2007. The growth is being fueled primarily by
increased e-commerce, international expansion and an increased
number of debit transactions. Also according to the report, the
number of households banking by computer grew three-fold between
1999-2003, while those using debit and smart cards more than
doubled.

____________________________________________
o EU Report:
81% of European Homes Have Mobile Phones
Brussels -- According to the "Telecoms Services Indicators 2004"
report conducted on behalf of the European Commission (EC),
approximately 81% of European households said they own at least one
mobile phone. The Commission said the news puts the number of mobile
phones per household on a par with the number of European homes
having at least one fixed-line phone. The report also found that
fixed telephony penetration in the EU, which currently stands at
about 82%, has actually dropped by 3% since last year. The
Commission said the overall proportion of households with access to
a telephone at home in 2004 was 97%, while 66% of households own
both fixed and mobile phones. Only 3% of EU households have no
telephone at all.
