o Report: U.K. Digital TV Subsidy to Cost Government $997 Million

London - According to a new report from Ofcom, the U.K. telecommunications watchdog, TV viewers reluctant to move to digital TV could ultimately cost the government more than $997 million to convert from analog. The digital switchover is scheduled to take place, region by region, between 2008 and 2012. Currently, about 63% of U.K. households watch digital TV and about 200,000 make the switch to digital every month. However, Ofcom estimates that as many as 10% of all U.K. households will need either financial help or "encouragement" to switch to the digital signal. The regulator has placed the cost of switching each household at approximately $230.

o Philips Introduces amBX "Sensory Surround" Video Game Technology

Redhill, U.K. - Electronics firm Philips on Tuesday introduced a new gaming technology, amBX, that will generate light, color, sound, heat and blown-air feedback from video games in the living room. "Imagine the room of the future, where all electronic devices are amBX-enabled. The treacherous road to Saigon will turn your room jungle green, swimming with dolphins will splash it deep blue, 'Halo' jumps will turn your fans on full, lightning storms will strobe your white lighting, and attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion will blast on your heaters," Philips said in a statement. The amBX technology will incorporate a scripting language that directs the different feedback elements to LED color-controlled lights, active furniture, fans, heaters, and audio and video devices. "For games creators this is a fantastic opportunity: amBX expands the immersive experience by bringing the real world environment into the gameplay," said Philips amBX chief marketing officer Jo Cooke. "The creative possibilities, using this technology, for the games industry and beyond are immense." Philips expects to launch the technology in May 2006.

o EMI to Sell Digital Downloads of John Lennon Solo Catalog

London - Major record label EMI Music announced on Tuesday that it will for the first time offer John Lennon's solo catalog for sale in digital format.

"I always say that he would have been very excited by all the opportunities offered by the development of new means of communication. For people who still love John's music and for those now getting into John's music, this opens up a whole new world in which they can appreciate John's music again." While Lennon's solo tracks may now be available, the vast and potentially lucrative catalog from his band the Beatles is still yet to be licensed for digital distribution.
