o "Broadcast Flag" Bills Floated by House Judiciary Committee

Washington - A number of bills to revive the "broadcast flag," or technology that would prevent consumers from making unauthorized copies of digital TV and radio broadcasts or posting them online, have been floated by the House Judiciary Committee in advance of a hearing on the issue scheduled for Thursday, Reuters reported. A federal appeals court in May struck down a broadcast flag proposal that originated from the FCC, in part ruling that the FCC was not invested with such authority. The proposed legislation would give the FCC the authority to mandate the broadcast flag for digital TV and radio broadcasts, and also prohibit the manufacture, import or sale of devices that can convert protected digital programs into the unprotected analog format. "The draft appears to be in sync with industry consensus on both analog hole and broadcast flag and we look forward to working through the legislative process to get them enacted quickly," MPAA spokesperson Gayle Osterberg told Reuters. Art Brodsky, a spokesman for Public Knowledge -- which successfully argued against the broadcast flag in the federal appellate case -- argued that, "[The proposed legislation] would give the FCC and the Patent and Trademark Office wide-ranging power and control over the development of technology while depriving consumers of rights they have enjoyed for years. These are unwarranted technological mandates."

o Sprint, Cable TV Firms Invest $200 Million in "Convergence" Joint Venture

New York - Wireless network operator Sprint Nextel announced on Wednesday that it has partnered with cable TV providers Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox and Advance/Newhouse Communications on a joint venture that aims to offer bundled mobile, TV, broadband and voice services to 75 million homes. Sprint will invest $100 million in the venture, while the cable firms will collectively contribute another $100 million, to develop and market the converged services. New features expected from the combined services include remote programming of home digital video recorders via cell phones, mobile viewing of streamed TV, music and DVR recordings, and mobile access to cable broadband e-mail accounts. The companies will also collaborate on the development of new devices for the services. Beginning in 2006, the venture plans to sell and market their co-branded products and services in Sprint's 1,600 retail stores, Radio Shack stores, and cable retail outlets.

o Toshiba Offers HD DVD Technology to Chinese Manufacturers

Tokyo - Japanese consumer electronics firm Toshiba, currently in a battle with Sony over next-generation DVD formats, has taken the step of licensing its HD DVD format to Chinese DVD player makers in an effort to beat Sony's Blu-ray DVD players to market, The New York Times reported. The low-cost Chinese players could have the effect of curbing the market for Toshiba's own HD DVD player models, but would likely challenge Sony's Blu-ray in the race to become the dominant next-generation DVD standard. Sony has recently gained some momentum in the format war, as several Hollywood movie studios that previously only backed HD DVD said they would also release movies in its Blu-ray format. "Toshiba can't back out of this format war for face-saving reasons," Richard Doherty, research director at market research firm the Envisioneering Group, told The Times. "But pushing ahead means dealing with the Chinese sooner rather than later. They'll risk dealing with the Chinese if it means getting the format out quicker."

o NBC to Launch Free Webcasts of "NBC Nightly News"

New York - NBC Universal has announced that NBC will become the first network to offer a daily webcast of its flagship news program, "NBC Nightly News." Beginning next Monday, the half-hour program hosted by anchor Brian Williams will be offered for free at MSNBC.com at 7 p.m. Pacific time, after it has been broadcast on-air throughout the country. "This is the next logical step for 'Nightly' and NBC News," said NBC News acting president Steve Capus. "As the leader on the broadcast side, and with our partnership in the leading online news and information site, MSNBC.com, it couldn't be a better fit." "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams added, "Many of our viewers tell me they often miss the broadcast because they're not home in time or tending to their busy lives and families. This new service reflects the fact that the pace of our lives has changed."

o SonyBMG to Remove Virus Writer Tool From CD Copy-Protection

San Francisco - SonyBMG and First 4 Internet, a company providing CD copy-protection technology to the major record label, are now working with antivirus firms to eliminate the use of a virus writer technique that hid their anti-piracy software deep within a computer's operating system, CNET News.com reported on Wednesday. After a blog posting on Monday revealed that a "rootkit" was being installed when users put SonyBMG CDs in their PCs, several computer security firms noted that virus writers could potentially use the record label's anti-piracy tool to hide a virus on a user's computer. The rootkit was used in First 4 Internet CD copy-protection embedded on SonyBMG albums for artists including Van Zant and My Morning Jacket. A patch that eliminates the rootkit will be included in automatic security updates provided by antivirus companies, and also through SonyBMG's website.

o U.S. Venture Capital Fundraising Grows 16% in Third Quarter

San Francisco - U.S. venture-capital fund raising grew 16% in the third quarter, compared with the previous year, according to new statistics from Dow Jones's VentureOne. All told, venture capital firms completed 27 funds worth $5.91 billion. Though the number of funds was about the same as a year ago, their average size grew considerably, continuing a recent trend. For instance, more than 30% of the funds that have closed so far this year have been in the $250-$499 million range, up from 20% of funds from last year. Another 5% are between $500-$999 million -- the most funds of that size completed since 2001. "Despite the larger funds, fund raising, of course, has yet to match the levels raised during the 1998 to 2001 timeframe," said John Gabbert, the vice president of worldwide research at VentureOne. "But we are seeing that the venture-capital industry has reached a level of sustainability, with venture investors closing funds at a close pace to the level they are investing."
