Corrections

In the June 11 "Explainer," Chris Wilson stated that third-generation mobile systems use code-divided technology and implied that all second-generation systems use time-divided technology. While the dominant 3G systems in the United States are both code-divided, there are a variety of technologies classified as 3G. Additionally, the piece stated that CDs have a higher sound quality than records. Many argue that high-quality records can be of superior quality to digital recordings.

In the June 11 "Moneybox," James Ledbetter incorrectly stated that Martha Stewart products have been selling at Kmart since 2003. They have been selling since 1997. The royalty arrangement was renegotiated in 2004.
