o Sen. Stevens Proposes $3 Billion Subsidy for Digital TV Transition

Washington - The chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee has proposed setting aside $3 billion to subsidize converters that will allow analog TVs to receive digital signals once broadcasters switch to digital broadcasting, the Washington Post reported on Thursday. The proposal from Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) drew criticism from other lawmakers, who would put a $1 billion cap on the subsidy. The converter subsidy is a key element in the transition to digital broadcasting; current law stipulates that 85% of a TV market must have access to digital TV before broadcasters may abandon their analog signals. While Stevens has proposed an April 2009 analog shut-off date, House Commerce Committee chairman Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.) supports a date of Dec. 31, 2008, and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has called for an even earlier transition, in late 2006 or early 2007. Stevens said the $3 billion would be come out of an estimated $10 billion to be generated by an auction of the freed analog spectrum to wireless companies. Other elements of Stevens' proposal call for $1 billion from the auction to be spent on communications equipment for first responders; $250 million for a national alert system; and $200 million to generally aid disaster-prone coastal states.

o Netflix Profit Down, Revenue Up; Company Shelves Planned Download Service

Los Gatos, Calif. - Online DVD rental service Netflix said on Thursday that profit fell 63% during the third quarter of 2005, to $6.9 million, while revenue increased 23% to $172.7 million. The company's emphasis on attracting new subscribers through multi-tiered subscription offerings helped spur a 61% increase in the number of subscribers it added during the quarter, when compared with a year ago; Netflix added 396,000 subscribers in the third quarter, to end with a total of 3.59 million subscribers. It also reduced its "churn," or the percentage of subscribers who do not renew their subscriptions, from 5.6% a year ago to 4.3% in the recent quarter. The company hopes to count 5.65 million subscribers by the end of 2006; its main competitor, Blockbuster, recently said it would fail to reach its goal of having 2 million subscribers by April 2006. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings also announced that licensing difficulties with movie studios have forced the company to indefinitely postpone a test of its planned online movie download service, with Hastings telling analysts the service "will be ready to launch when the content climate begins to thaw," Reuters reported.

o Sony Sees North American PSP Sales of 2.5 - 3 Million During Holidays

San Francisco - Sony hopes to sell between 2.5 million and 3 million PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld game devices in North America during the upcoming holiday shopping season, Sony Computer Entertainment America president and CEO Kaz Hirai told Reuters on Thursday. The company has sold some 2.3 million PSPs in North America since the device went on sale in late March. Sony also on Thursday announced that it will begin selling a $299 PSP "Giga Pack," which includes the PSP, a 1GB memory stick, battery pack, AC adaptor and a new PSP stand; the standalone device costs $249. Hirai additionally told Reuters that Sony expects to sell between 2.5 million and 3 million PlayStation 2 consoles before the end of the year. The PS2 will compete this holiday season with the release of Microsoft's next-generation Xbox 360. Sony plans to release the PlayStation 3 in the spring of 2006.

o FTC Acts Against Site Claiming File-Sharing is "100% Legal"

Washington - A U.S. District Court has ordered the website MP3DownloadCity.com to stop making the claim that membership in its service will immunize users of peer-to-peer file-sharing services from copyright infringement lawsuits. While the site does not actually distribute its own peer-to-peer software, it does sell a $24.95 tutorial on how to use peer-to-peer services to download music and movies. The site makes claims such as, "Rest assured that file-sharing is 100% legal," and "Best of all, people are not getting sued for using our software." The motion picture and recording industries in the U.S. have to date sued thousands of individual users of file-sharing services for copyright infringement. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which brought the action, is now seeking a permanent bar on the deceptive claims, refunds for users, and a requirement that the company notify customers its claims were false.

o Motorola, MTV Launch Made-for-Mobile TV Series, "Head and Body"

New York - MTV Networks and wireless developer Motorola on Thursday announced the global launch of "Head and Body," a television series developed especially for distribution on mobile TV services to cell phones. The series, which was produced by @radical.media and features an original score composed by Paul Westerberg (The Replacements), follows the comedic adventures of a character whose head is detached from his body.

o Major Publishers Launching Retail Sites to Sell Books Directly to Consumers

Frankfurt - Reuters reported on Thursday on how several large publishers recently have ventured into retail, quietly launching websites to sell their books directly to consumers.
Random House, a unit of Bertelsmann, launched a site earlier this year that offers its entire catalog for sale; Simon & Schuster and Penguin are also now selling online. The publishers were quick to say their sites were not meant to be seen as a threat to established booksellers like Amazon or Barnes & Noble. "We can offer features, services and guidance that might be difficult for another retailer to provide," Penguin Group chairman John Makinson told Reuters. "What we're not going to be is competitors to Amazon or any other retailer in this area." Simon & Schuster spokesman Adam Rothberg added, "It would have been foolish to pass up the opportunity to let visitors to our site buy a book they came to find out about."

o Report: Chinese IPTV Subscribers to Number 16.7 Million by 2009

Beijing - TV delivered over the Internet (IPTV) in China will grow from a market of 1.2 million subscribers at the end of this year to 16.7 million by the end of 2009, when IPTV will generate $2.1 billion in revenue, according to a report from market research firm Analysys. The firm pointed to recent offerings such as Chinese online game provider Shanda's deployment of its own IPTV set-top box. Issues facing the growth of IPTV in China include the "uncertainty of regulations, insufficient hardware platforms, long-term obstacles of an immature value chain and unclear business models," Analysys said.

o HP Pressures Sony to Add Advanced Features to Blu-ray DVD

Palo Alto, Calif. - PC maker HP has stepped up pressure on Sony to offer advanced features in its Blu-ray next-generation DVD format, to bring it up to speed with features to be offered by the rival HD DVD format. HP wants Sony's Blu-ray to include "managed copy," which lets consumers transfer movies onto PCs and distribute them over home networks, and "iHD," a suite of interactive DVD features that Microsoft plans to support in its forthcoming Windows Vista operating system. "HP is committed to delivering rewarding consumer experiences, and we see format compatibility as critical to making technology accessible and easy to use for consumers," said HP senior vice president John Romano.
