LJ works from home and Starbucks, soon a small office pool office. LJ drinks Hot Chocolate.
You have seen the ads depicting the little guy competing against the GIANT company successfully on line. Well, that may go its way some day, the little guy is headed to become road kill. So then is the competion that brings you lower prices.
Congress is steadily bowing to the pressures of the BIG telcoms and utilities to make the internet a piece of cake for the big boys and impossible for startups to survive. Click here to get a taste. I will start providing more content on this subject under the category of Naked and Road Kill.
