267_ Consumers May Win in the Communications Battle

What do telecom, cable, wireless and satellite have in common? Businesses & consumers could benefit from the duopoly transition to unlimited choices.
2006 was a year that delivered mega-mergers and acquisitions of industry giants and neophytes. The promise of convergence was realized and triple play and quadruple play bundling options became the norm. Cable and telecommunications companies battled for the wallet of both corporations and consumers and satellite companies collaborated and searched for products to round out their offerings. User generated content exploded into the limelight with the $1.65B Google acquisition of YouTube.
DTP was celebrating its 10-year anniversary and took this opportunity to announce a name change to better reflect the radically changing playing field. The contest for the new logo design for the "Communications Technology Professionals" (CTP) was awarded to LightSpeed Commercial Arts, Mike Hamers.

266 The Billion Dollar Question: Are You Looking for Money?
In 2007, the federal government is offering grants for new innovative research ideas from small (even new) high-tech businesses. There are 11 agencies involved in the SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) grant program offering funding in a variety of areas including bioscience, defense, education, energy and many other areas that fit in with Colorado innovative entrepreneurs. Some of these SRIR grant recipients bring their creations to market by working with big companies. Russ Farmer points out SBIR grants do not dilute your ownership.

263 On Management: Who Gets Paid and Who Doesn't?
Pat Wiesner worked for a small publishing company a couple of years before he started his own. Pat was president and just one aspect of it made it really tough. He would get something like $50K to $60K on the average each week. The problem was that in that same time period he would receive $70K to $80K of bills. My job, along with the controller, was to decide who got paid and who didn’t. All Pat wanted was to have enough cash to pay the bills. Pat offers insights.
