John and all, re the level playing field: WSJ today has an article
on this very subject. Unfortunately the SEC seems to condone the
slanted playing field. Please see URL and excerpt below...

Little Guys Can Get Big Picture
By Clicking 'Virtual Roadshows'

By ROBERT E. CALEM
Special to THE WALL STREET JOURNAL INTERACTIVE EDITION
Excerpt:

Last March, the SEC issued a "no-action letter" to MSNBC Desktop
Video, a subsidiary of MSNBC, allowing that company to transmit
corporate roadshows, with video and audio presentations, on its private
network to professional investors who are issued passwords by the lead
underwriter
. <snip>
Right now, Mr. Stasior notes, the SEC has approved only the Webcasting
of certain roadshow presentations to a limited audience of qualified
investors who have been issued passwords.
