o U.S. to Maintain Control Over Internet Addressing System

Brussels - Negotiators at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Tunis this week have effectively postponed the protracted international dispute over who will govern the Internet. Under the terms of the WSIS agreement, the U.S. will maintain control over the Internet's addressing system. Although the U.S. has formally endorsed the creation of an Internet Governance Forum that will meet in 2006 under the auspices of the UN to address the concerns of other countries, that forum will have no binding authority. The resolution essentially means that the day-to-day management of the Internet will be left to the private sector via ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), much to the dismay of China, Cuba, Iran and other countries that want to see Internet governance in the hands of a multinational panel.

o Report: Microsoft Seeking U.S. Allies in Battle against EU

Brussels - According to a report in the Financial Times, Microsoft is lobbying U.S. government officials and companies to gain support in its antitrust battle with the EU. Microsoft is currently appealing a European Commission ruling that ordered the company to share protocols with rivals. The Financial Times claims to have seen a leaked memo in which Microsoft asks several companies to lobby the U.S. government to "intervene directly" on its behalf. The report also claims Microsoft has had meetings with staff from the U.S. Department of Justice and the Whitehouse. For its part, Microsoft claims that the Commission and a number of EU member states have intervened in competition cases and appeals in the U.S. and that it "makes sense for the U.S. government to offer its views in a similar way under the procedures established by European courts, where the issue has broad implications for the global economy".

o Google Launches Google Base Online Classifieds Service

Mountain View, Calif. - Search giant Google has launched Google Base, a new service that allows users to post classified ads, similar to Craigslist or eBay, in addition to almost any information, product or service that users wish to have indexed by Google or offer for sale. "Remember, our goal is to organize the world's information and make it universally useful and accessible, and 'the world's information' certainly includes almost anything you might wish to contribute," the company says in the Google Base FAQ. "We encourage you to submit your item, whether it's your store inventory, collection of original poetry, or research paper on cancer receptors." The free listing service is also currently free of advertisements. Depending on relevance, ads posted on Google Base will also show up in searches on Google, Froogle and Google Local. "We saw there were large instances of information we didn't have and couldn't make searchable," Salar Kamangar, Google vice president for product management, told The New York Times. "We realized that we could make it possible for people to make information on information available."

o Celebrity Endorsements for Overseas Gambling Sites Could Irk Feds

New York - The New York Times reported on Wednesday that a number of celebrities who have endorsement deals to promote overseas Internet gambling websites could draw the attention of federal prosecutors, in light of the U.S. ban on Internet gambling. Former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura now promotes Costa Rica-based BetUS.com, while other endorsers include Tom Arnold (Betonsports.com), Brooke Burke (Sportsbook.com) and former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly (SportsInteraction.com). In addition to enforcing the U.S. online gambling ban, federal prosecutors have also targeted "the promoters, aiders and abettors of such criminal enterprises," which have included credit card companies that allow cardholders to set up accounts with overseas casino sites. Referring to the celebrity endorsers, Whittier Law School professor I. Nelson Rose told The Times, "There's a good chance they are criminally liable for the crime itself." Will Griffiths, the director of marketing for Betonsports.com, told The Times that Tom Arnold's endorsement deal includes an out clause in the event that the actor is subpoenaed by the Justice Department.

o Microsoft, Cable TV Firms to Bring Cable TV to PCs, Laptops, Xbox

Redmond, Wash. - Microsoft on Wednesday announced an agreement with Cable Television Laboratories (CableLabs), the cable TV industry's research and development consortium, that will enable Microsoft and PC makers to sell digital-cable-ready Windows Media Center-based PC by the fall of 2006. The agreement will let consumers view standard and high-definition cable channels on their PC or laptop, as well as through networked devices such as the Xbox 360, by installing a digital cable card. Microsoft said its Windows Media Digital Rights Management will be approved for copy-protection security, although multiple DRM systems will be available.

o Nintendo Details Game-Embedded Parental Controls for Revolution Console

Redmond, Wash. - Nintendo of America on Wednesday announced details of the parental controls it will provide in its next-generation Revolution video game console, slated for release in 2006. Video games for the console will contain an embedded code indicating the game's rating. Parents will then be able to use a password-controlled interface on the Revolution console to set rules on whether to remain locked or unlocked, based on the game's rating. The technology is similar to the "V-chip" now included on televisions and pay-TV set-top boxes. "Even though many Nintendo games are rated E, E10+ or T, we believe this kind of feature should be included in the hardware. It's the right thing to do," said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo executive vice president of sales & marketing. So far, Nintendo is the only game console maker to have pledged to include parental control features in its game hardware. "This new option gives parents more information and more control over what video games their kids play and at what age," added Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire.
