Talking Tech

by Mark Evans on Sat 14 Oct 2006 10:33 AM EDT | Permanent Link

In this week's Talking Tech podcast, Kevin Restivo and I discuss the impending disappearance of BCE and the decision to convert Bell Canada, the country's largest carrier, into an income trust (the Globe & Mail has a huge feature series today on the rise of income trusts). We also touch upon Google's proposed $1.65-billion acquisition of YouTube, including the copyright issue that has everyone in a tizzy. Finally, we look at how legal digital music downloads doubled in the first half of the year. Of course, this doesn't mean illegal downloads have disappeared. One of the big questions in the music industry is whether Russia's AllofMP3.com, which sells CDs for between $1 to $2, is legal or illegal.
