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.

marketing of its services, and to increase content offerings.
Finally, the company announced that it is in the process of moving

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. Eight "mobisodes" of "Head and Body"
will be distributed through MTV Networks International's mobile
distribution channels, Comedy Central, and Motorola's HelloMoto.com
portal.

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.

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

them over home networks, and "iHD," a suite of interactive DVD
features that Microsoft plans to support in its forthcoming Windows

consumer experiences, and we see format compatibility as critical to
making technology accessible and easy to use for consumers," said HP
