Pac-Man is a top selling mobile game: "Pac-Man is a top selling mobile game
25 years after the launch of the original arcade game, PAC-MAN is more popular than ever. Having already generated millions of downloads worldwide, PAC-MAN was 2004's best-selling mobile game on several of the world's leading mobile network operators, including Vodafone in the United Kingdom."
Cool. I would really like space invaders - a proper version, now I think mobiles need to have excellent controllers.

Telecoms.com: "Hutchison downplays 3 spin off rumors
Hong Kong conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa today said that it had no immediate plans to float either of its UK or Italian flagship 3G operations. In a statement this morning, the company said that whilst plans are being made to put in place appropriate new capital structures for the Italian and UK 3G businesses in a bid to will maximise their value contribution, 'the company has no concrete plan, no application or submission to any stock exchange has been filed and no sponsor has been appointed, for a spin-off of either of the group's Italy or UK telecommunications businesses.'
The 3 Group is expected to become self-financing in the 2005-2006 period, and Hutchison said it would explore the feasibility and possibility to spin-off either or both such businesses at a time when it is considered appropriate and in the interests of the company to do so." I think come the budget 3 might have to think about it. You cannot just throw commission and get a big take up of network usage and not expect to take public money forever.

Revolution Web Site: "ITV1 could lose up to a fifth of viewers by 2007 say media buyers
LONDON - Media buyers predict that ITV1's audience share could slip almost three percentage points to just 20% by 2007, the year before digital TV switchover begins, although some believe the picture could get much worse."
I thought they could just loose them because ITV is, IMHO not very viewer friendly. I remember when ITV was making some really cool programmes like Robin of Sherwood - and they used to show BattleStar Galactica. Now, looking to tonights programmes we have... ermmm... *switch*

Survey against cellphones on planes
Survey against cellphones on planes: "Survey against cellphones on planes
Frazzled nerves from constant phone chatter, trouble hearing emergency announcements, increased 'air rage' - all of these were identified by air travelers as good reasons for the USA's government to retain the current prohibition against airborne cell phone use, according to a new poll.
Sixty-three percent of the survey participants wanted to keep cell phone restrictions in place, while only 21 percent said it's time to let people talk on their phones during flights, survey results showed.
The poll, sponsored by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA and the National Consumers League, was conducted as the Federal Communications Commission moves ahead with a rule-making process aimed at lifting its ban on cell phones and other portable electronic devices in the air."
I guess the main problem would be one of billing - ITMS isn't going to be cheap anyway. The main difference is in places like USA and Russia. I think in terms of European travel and cheap flights to other countries - hey no food, cramped seats and cheap flights mobile phone use will increase travel on airlines - you know you can book a hotel via WAP/GPRS or talk to friends/family you're going to meet. If there's a problem, like on a cramped train - you tell them don't you? Trouble with bad language on the phone - thats for cabin staff to deal with right?

Google Brings More Search Volume at Lower Cost: "Google Brings More Search Volume at Lower Cost
In a bid to increase its adoption as an enterprise search standard, Google is instituting a new licensing scheme that will give enterprises more search volume at a lower cost.
The new licensing, announced Wednesday, chiefly affects the Google Mini appliance, effectively doubling the Google Mini's document capacity while nearly halving the price.
The Google Mini now will be able to search as many as 100,000 documents at a company, up from 50,000 under the previous licensing, at a cost of $2,995, down from $4,995 under the previous licensing. Those prices include one year of support. The price for the second year of support drops from $2,500 to $995. "
ohhh... watch out lexis nexis
