...fragmented by competing standards, and a far smaller number of people under age 30 have mobile phones because of credit-rating problems. Yet Nicolaj Nielsen, a consultant for Strand Consult, sees changes ahead that bear resemblance to the Korean model. By year's end, Verizon, which also uses CDMA technology, is expected to offer a service that combines EV-DO's higher speeds with BREW's programmable technology. "Verizon's adoption of the brew virtual machine platform is expected to revolutionize the U.S. mobile data market," Nielsen says. And to further emulate South Korea's formula for success, the company...

As always, summer, teeming with bored teens willing to see films more than once, is blockbuster season, and this summer is almost certain to be the biggest one ever, thanks in large part to Spider-Man and Star Wars, which opens this week. At evenly spaced intervals throughout the summer, we'll line up for a handful of blockbusters. And unless you live in a city, they are pretty much the only ones you'll be able...
...channels have just reported their ratings for the first time, and according to Nielsen Media Research, Lifetime doesn't have much to worry about. Oxygen on average is watched in only 52,000 households in prime time, WE in 110,000. Lifetime averages 1.9 million homes. The newcomers have had trouble getting onto cable systems and are available in only about half as many households as Lifetime.
