Kickstartnews Revue - Podcast #38 - Show Notes for February 12, 2006

Here's the lineup for show #38:

• Hot News: We've read over two dozen separate news items about Internet moves being made by Verizon, AOL, Comcast, Time-Warner Cable and some other large telecommunications and media companies. It all has to do with the old social liberal fear about the privatization of the web, and the class struggle between the so-called haves and the have-nots. This time the social democrats might have a point. Also, some chinks are appearing in the NetFlix armor? Or maybe not;
• Kickstartnews Confab: Home-office and small business life in the big city vs. home-office and small business life in smaller communities. Contributing Editor Lianne is a big city girl—but Managing Editor Howard started out in a much smaller city. They compare notes and decide whether or not there's really any difference;
• Big City Byte: Serious business consumer issues have come up with respect to rule changes and law changes which impact home-office and small business owners. If you're doing business in the U.S., Canada and the UK, or if you're thinking of starting your own business or formalizing an existing one, you need the most up-to-date, accurate information.
