o Qualcomm Spending $800 Million to
Develop Wireless Multimedia Network
San Diego -- Wireless technology developer Qualcomm on Monday
announced plans to deploy a nationwide "mediacast" network that it
says will deliver high-quality video and audio to 3G cell phones "at
mass market prices." San Diego-based Qualcomm's MediaFLO subsidiary
will spend $800 million over the next five years to develop the new
network, which will partner with cellular operators using Qualcomm's
CDMA technology to deliver multimedia to cell phones in the 700MHz
spectrum. The network, expected to begin commercial operation in
2006, will support 50-100 national and local content channels,
including up to 15 live streaming channels of video at up to 30
frames per second. Qualcomm said the MediaFLO network will give
content providers including TV stations and networks, cable TV and
satellite operators a major new distribution channel that
complements their current offerings.

o Online Ad
Firm DoubleClick Considers Sale of Company
New York -- Online advertising firm DoubleClick announced that it
has hired financial advisors to explore strategic alternatives,
including a possible sale of the company. New York-based DoubleClick
is one of few online ad firms to be declining in contrast with
growing revenue at rivals such as Google and Yahoo's Overture. The
company said it hired Lazard Freres & Co. to explore alternatives,
including a sale of all or part of the company, recapitalization,
extraordinary dividend, share repurchase or a spin-off. Founded in
1995, DoubleClick shares traded as high as $100 in 2000 but lately
have traded for around $7.

o Federal Court
Cracks Down on Counterfeit Nintendo Game Systems
Redmond, Wash. -- Nintendo of America announced on Monday that
the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington has
issued a temporary restraining order against the import and sale of
video game systems containing counterfeit versions of Nintendo
games, which were being sold at numerous shopping malls. The
counterfeit games, which resemble a Nintendo 64 console controller
and plug directly into a TV, contain embedded Nintendo titles like
"Donkey Kong" and "Mario Bros." and have been sold under brand names
including "Power Player," "Super Joystick," "Superjoy" and "Powerjoy"
at Washington-area shopping mall kiosks. Nintendo said it acted
after receiving tips from 400 of its "loyal fans," and is now
working with law enforcement to address reports of the devices being
sold in 40 states. "We're confident that mall management companies
around the nation will provide their complete cooperation upon being
informed of the court's decision," said Jodi Daugherty, director of
anti-piracy for Nintendo of America. The company added that U.S.
Customs has already seized tens of thousands of the devices upon
entry into the country.

o Game
Publisher Majesco Files for $150 Million Stock Offering, Nasdaq
Listing
Edison, N.J. -- Video game publisher Majesco said in a Friday
filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that
it plans to raise up to $115 million in an offering of its stock.
New Jersey-based Majesco also said it plans to apply for listing on
the Nasdaq National Market; the company's shares currently trade on
the exchange's over-the-counter Bulletin Board. The company on
Monday also shipped its "Texas Hold 'Em" title for Nintendo Game Boy

Multifunctional Handheld Game Console Launches in U.K.
London -- Florida-based electronic game manufacturer Tiger
Telematics announced that it has shipped its Gizmondo
multifunctional handheld game console in the U.K. The company said
12 game titles are initially available for the device, which
features an Nvidia graphics chip, 2.8-inch color screen, and added
features including multimedia messaging, an MP3 player, MPEG-4 video
playback, GPS, a digital camera and a GPRS network link to allow

o Report:
Digital Video Recorders to Reach 20% of European Homes by 2008
London -- Twenty percent of Western European homes will have digital
video recorder (DVR) services like TiVo by 2008, offering a
cost-effective alternative to true video-on-demand, according to a
report from Boston-based market research firm Yankee Group. The firm
noted that high subscription fees initially might deter users from
existing services like Sky+ and Pilotime, which themselves will be
aided by set-top box price cuts. "DVR services will be more widely
and frequently used by digital TV subscribers than regular
video-on-demand offerings that are limited to the less ubiquitous
cable and broadband platforms," said Yankee Group senior analyst
Jonathan Doran. In a separate report released on Monday, Yankee
Group predicted that annual video-on-demand and near video-on-demand
revenue in Western Europe will increase fivefold by 2008, to $2.8
billion. "Both video-on-demand and DVR will coexist as complementary
options for digital TV customers," said Yankee Group's Doran. "Given
the fact that substantial demand for true video-on-demand remains
unproven, many cable operators will also keep their options open by
not committing to a single on-demand strategy, offering customers a
choice of video-on-demand, DVR or both."

(London) U.K.-based digital music service Wippit has called on
the music industry to boycott a number of firms that have purchased
ads that run on eDonkey, a rival online music service that offers
unauthorized files for download for free. Firms mentioned in the
boycott include Vodafone, O2, KLM, NatWest, ntl and MSN's Expedia.
Seeking comment from these firms, U.K. news site TheRegister found
that many were unaware of the eDonkey ads because they were
unknowingly placed by third-party ad agencies, and were taking steps
to have them removed. "We would never knowingly associate ourselves
with a site that enabled music piracy," an ntl spokeswoman told
TheRegister.
