comunicaciones y poder real ..para fabricar el consenso o manufacturing consent y religiones



el sr Genachovski, antiguo compañero de estudios en la Harvard Law School del sr prsidente de los EEUU,Barak Obama logra lo que pocos , superar las difíciles etapas para crear medios de comunicación con éxito ..en lo económico ...y en su objetivo fundamental,a saber: influir en la toma de decisiones de los electores y de los múltiples grupos de la sociedad política
Genachovski es el nuevo director de la FCC Federal Communication Commission

Julius Genachovski era visto como lo que finalmente es hoy ,como se comprueba en este texto de Pisani:

&. Una de las posiciones esenciales en una red es la del 'hub' (literalmente 'cubo' —de la rueda—). Un nodo superconectado y, por lo tanto, un lugar de paso prácticamente obligatorio.

Inspirándose en esta lógica, 'Newsweek' ha señalado cinco 'hubs' que han funcionado bien en 2008 y ofrece un breve retrato de quienes los han creado o gestionado: Tina Brown del DailyBeast, Julius Genachovski, que podría ser perfectamente el 'director tecnológico' de la Administración de Obama, Evan Williams, fundador de Twitter, Jason Kilar, jefe de Hulu, que permite ver la tele sin tele y Sheryl Sandberg de Facebook.

Usually, troubled venture-backed startups slowly fizzle and then quietly shut their doors. Many don't bother to seek bankruptcy protection, and those that do generally liquidate and close. Few get a second chance and even fewer get fresh money. But three startups have achieved both.

Beliefnet, a New York-based Web site that specializes in religion and spirituality, has emerged from Chapter 11 and has raised $1 million in new funding from Blue Chip Venture Co. of Cincinnati along with some of Beliefnet's management team and Julius Genachowski, executive vice president of USA Interactive.
The startup had raised $5.5 million in a first round from Highland Capital of Lexington, Mass., in 1999 and $20 million in a June 2000 second round led by Primus Venture Partners Inc. of Cleveland. Highland came back in that round along with Blue Chip, Zero Stage Capital of Cambridge, Mass., and the Trump Group. But despite being the second-most popular Internet site devoted to religion -- second only to Gospel.com -- its costs outpaced its revenues. It filed for bankruptcy protection in April and its management tried to find a buyer. But no media buyer could be found willing to swallow its operating losses.
Two other venture-backed companies are also emerging from bankruptcy protection with fresh funding. ITC Holding Co. of Valley, Ala., and Columbia, S.C.-based utility Scana Corp. are putting $39 million of new equity into Knology Inc. of West Point, Ga., a supplier of bundled Internet, telephony and cable services, and $30 million in ITC Deltacom, a provider of broadband to office buildings in second-tier markets, also based in West Point.

ITC Deltacom emerged Oct. 29, and Knology, which was originally spun off from ITC Holding in February 2000 with $70 million from Blackstone Group of New York and J.H. Whitney Co. of Stamford, Conn., is on the verge of doing so. But needed expansion and tough competition could severely strain both companies.

Horsley Bridge Partners of San Francisco has become the latest of the incredible shrinking funds. In announcing it has reduced its seventh fund by $500 million, managing director Gary Bridge said he doesn't expect to be the last.

"The funds that have cut their size are probably still too big, and so far, only eight or nine funds have done it," Bridge said. "I don't think there's any question you'll see funds get even smaller and smaller, going forward. There's just no way that we can get as big a piece in those funds as we were able to in larger funds over the last couple of years."

Horsley Bridge's seventh fund closed in 2001 with just less than $2.1 billion. The fund-of-funds now has $6 billion under management.

Horsley Bridge has been an ardent advocate of venture fund size reductions. Other funds that have cut their fund sizes include Mohr, Davidow Ventures and Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers, both of Menlo Park, Calif., and Accel Partners of Palo Alto, Calif.

One technology sector that is still attracting new money is business processing software. Still, Metaserver Inc. of New Haven, Conn., which became the latest startup to announce new funding, turned to its customers, rather than venture capitalists, hoping to avoid the kind of devaluation it would likely face raising money from institutional investors in today's climate.

In its $10 million fourth round led by Phoenix Cos. of Hartford, Conn., it managed to not only earn a valuable endorsement of its product, but a rare increase in valuation as well.

"One of the reasons we took it to strategic investors was to insulate ourselves from traditional investors in a down market," said Metaserver chief executive Richard Schultz. "But we also wanted to take it to a set of organizations that have more insight into what it is we are doing and can offer further validation of the technology."

Metaserver is just the latest business processing software maker to raise money. Earlier in October, Movaris of Campbell, Calif., raised $8 million in a second round and Savvion Inc. of Santa Clara, Calif., raised $5 million as part of a second round. And in one of the largest venture deals of the year, Exigen Group of San Francisco raised $62 million round in its first institutional round from blue-chip venture backers Lightspeed Venture Partners of Menlo Park, Focus Ventures of Palo Alto, and Investor Growth Capital Inc. of Stockholm.
