Sirius Satellite, CP+B to Part Company
March 18, 2004
By Rebecca Flass
LOS ANGELES Crispin Porter + Bogusky and Sirius Satellite Radio are ending their two-year relationship, the agency said. A representative for the shop described the decision as "mutual," but declined further comment.
Sirius, which spent $30 million on ads in 2003, said it plans to engage various agencies on a project basis, and left the door open to working with CP+B in the future. (A CP+B representative said that after the shop's 90-day contract termination period is up, it no longer intends to work with the client.)

Aussies Pull Broadband out of Air. Denizens down under can now get a wireless service with a range much greater than Wi-Fi and speeds much faster than cellular. If the service takes off in Australia, it could spread to other parts of the world. Patrick Gray reports from Sydney. [Wired News]

Enhanced Versatile Disc is under development
Understanding the role of technology in enhancing people's lives, the Chinese government has allowed Western companies into the country – but only up a point. In an attempt to allow domestic manufacturers to "shake off their previous dependence on foreign technologies", as the Xinhua news agency puts it, China is developing its own 3G phone standard, is working on its own MPEG-style compression format, and now it is supporting the development of a local flavour of DVD. Enhanced Versatile Disc is the product of a collaboration between Beijing's E-World and California video specialist On2. Although the full specification is not yet released, EVD is expected to have a higher storage capacity than DVD, making it suitable for high-definition video.
