o Report: Campaigns Spending $100 on
TV Ads for Every $1 Spent Online Washington -- The presidential
campaigns of George W. Bush and John Kerry have largely ignored the
Internet, spending more than $100 on TV campaign ads for every $1
spent on Web ads between January and August, according to a report
from the Pew Internet and American Life Project. The first-ever
systematic study of online campaign advertising spending found that
the Kerry campaign spent $1.3 million, compared to the Bush
campaign's $419,000, while the Republican National Committee has
spent $487,000 to the Democratic Committee's $257,000. Of these,
most were ads seeking campaign contributions rather that ads
focusing on a particular issue. However, Wired News reports that the
Kerry campaign bought roughly $400,000 of ads on 50 sites after
Thursday night's presidential debate, almost doubling the amount
spent online in the previous eight months. "Viewership for the
debate is akin to the finale of "Friends," in terms of raw numbers
of viewers," DNC communications director Jano Cabrera told Wired
News. "With that level of interest, we knew that a number of people
would rush to the internet to find out more information about John
Kerry and George W. Bush and we wanted to have a strong online
presence." Over 62 million Americans watched the first presidential
debate; the DNC says it plans another big online ad purchase
following Tuesday evening's vice presidential debate.

o Report: 37
Million U.S. HDTV Homes by 2008 Still Short of Federal Mandate
Boston -- The number of U.S. households with high-definition
television sets will increase from 8.7 million in 2003 to 14 million
this year, and, spurred by competition, falling prices and federal
regulations are expected to increase to 37 million by 2008,
according to Boston-based market research firm Strategy Analytics.
However, the firm predicts this rapid growth will still fall short
of the penetration levels needed (85% of households per market with
digital TVs) to compel broadcasters to make a full transition to
digital broadcasting as mandated by FCC regulatory measures.
Strategy Analytics advises that "legislators and the FCC must
seriously consider further regulatory measures, such as the
down-conversion of digital signals or the subsidy of adaptors for
millions of existing TVs."

o AT&T Wireless
Launches First U.S. Mobile Digital Music Store
Seattle -- Mobile network operator AT&T Wireless on Tuesday
launched the nation's first mobile music store, which allows
consumers to order tracks on their cell phones for download to a PC.
The mMode Music Store, built with partners Loudeye and Microsoft,
allows users to browse and sample nearly 750,000 songs, and then
purchase the song in Windows Media format for download to a PC. The
$0.99 tracks may also be burned to CD or transferred to over 70
devices supporting Windows Media, with the major exception of
Apple's iPod. Songs purchased may be billed either automatically to
monthly wireless statements or to a credit card.

o Netflix
Sees 73% Subscriber Increase, Raises Profit Forecasts
Los Gatos, Calif. -- Online DVD rental service Netflix announced
that it has seen a 73% increase in subscribers since the third
quarter of 2003, and added that its third-quarter profit will be far
greater than forecasts. Netflix now expects to see profit of as much
as $17.5 million, compared with earlier predictions of between $6.7
and $10.2 million, and said that subscribers now number 2.2 million,
up from 1.3 million a year ago. The company said that subscribers
were renting fewer movies per month than expected, possibly because
of interest in the Olympics, thereby lowering its costs to process
and deliver orders and increasing its profits.

Releases Beta Version of New Personalized Search Tool
Sunnyvale, Calif. -- Continuing its quest to steal market share from
Google, Yahoo said on Tuesday that it has released the beta version
of its new search tool, designed to help users better find, manage
and share search results. The tool, known as My Yahoo Search, allows
users to create their own personal Web index. They can save any Web
page along with their notes, block individual search results
categorize saved searches and share their saved search results with
others. The beta version of the tool is now available to registered
Yahoo users at the company's Yahoo Next new technology showcase.

o Vivendi
Universal Games Sells Knowledge Adventure Unit to VC Firms
Los Angeles -- Vivendi Universal Games, the company's video game
publishing unit, announced on Tuesday that it has sold its Knowledge
Adventure educational software business, to Knowledge Holdings, a
holding company formed by Bay Area venture capital firms Azure
Capital Partners and Telesoft Partners. Financial terms of the deal
were not disclosed. The deal divests VU Games of Knowledge
Adventure's JumpStart and Mathblaster properties; however, VU Games
will continue to sell and distribute the developer's titles. "The
divestiture of these educational software titles is part of VUG's
strategy in the U.S. to focus our business on games," said VU Games
CEO Bruce Hack.

o Microsoft CEO
Ballmer: iPods Filled With "Stolen" Music
London -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer remarked to a gathering of
reporters in London that, because of its support for the MP3 audio
format, much of the music stored on consumers' iPod players made by
rival Apple is "stolen." While criticizing Apple's digital rights
management (DRM) system and touting Microsoft's own security system,
Ballmer said, "The most common format of music on an iPod is stolen…
Part of the reason people steal music is money, but some of it is
that the DRM stuff out there has not been that easy to use. We are
going to continue to improve our DRM, to make it harder to crack,
and easier, easier, easier, easier to use." Many players that
support Microsoft's technology also support MP3 formats, however,
and the format is also a common means of transferring music from
purchased CDs onto portable players like the iPod.
