Domain`s Differ by Only One Letter

I own a domain name that I plan to use as a company name. The problem is, it differs from a major news source by only one letter. (ex. [blank][blank]y. )Would this be an issue as my business name if they are not in competition with each other, one being a news source, the other a retail line?Also, I`d rather not yet disclose specifics as I am only in planning right now. I`m sure most of you understand. Thanks!liveJEFF3/3/2009 11:49 AM

Granted her shop did, too serve coffee, but customers advocated that there was a clear difference between the two shops (Sambucks sold Beef Jerky, for example).
So while you might be a completely different kind of business, I`d still be careful. This was a great article about the Starbucks vs. Sambucks case that might give you some better insight.
