--------------------------------------------------------------------- The Evening Bridge - April 13, 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP STORY -- Jakarta's police chief urged the Indonesian publishers of Playboy magazine to put off their next issue after about 300 hardline Islamists vandalised the building housing Playboy's offices yesterday. The attacks were a protest against the company's publication in the world's most-populous Muslim nation. Protesters threw rocks at the front lobby, breaking windows of the building south of Jakarta after the magazine hit Indonesian news-stands for the first time.

"It's a new world for programmers, one in which video content may be distributed not only to the television set but also to iPods. Networks are delivering video via broadband and VOD. And they're entering new areas of content distribution while trying to figure out if Congress or the Federal Communications Commission will mess with the present packaging of channels."
