We write on behalf of Common Horizons, Inc. in response to Staffs letter of January 12, 2005 by Peggy Kim, Senior Counsel of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) regarding the above-referenced SB-2 (the Comment Letter). On behalf of the Company, we have filed with the Commission via the EDGAR system, a Second Amended Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (the Second Amended SB-2). We enclose with this letter a copy of the Second Amended SB-2, plus a copy of the prior SB-2 filing redlined to show the changes.
The factual information provided herein relating to the Company has been made available to us by the Company. Paragraph numbering used for each response corresponds to the numbering used in the Comment Letter.

General

additional subscribers.
In response to this comment, the Company added a risk factor that discusses the fact that they currently do not have any subscribers, that they will have minimal content with which to attract initial subscribers, and that they will rely upon those initial subscribers to provide content to attract additional subscribers.

In response to this comment, the Company added a risk factor that discusses the fact that they currently do not have any subscribers, that they will have minimal content with which to attract initial subscribers, and that they will rely upon those initial subscribers to provide content to attract additional subscribers.
Because following this offering two of our shareholders will retain approximately 48% of our outstanding common stock, investors may find that the corporate decisions influenced by these two shareholders are inconsistent with the best interests of other shareholders.
page 9
2. Please revise your disclosure under this heading to clarify whether the ownership percentages for Mr. Panos and Can Euro Holdings represent
percentages before or after the completion of the offering. If the percentages represent holdings before the offering, please also include percentage
ownership after the offering. In addition, please identify Can Euro as the other major shareholder.
In response to this comment, the Company discloses on a supplemental basis that Mr. Panos and Can Euro Holdings are not included in the selling shareholders whose shares are being registered. As a result, the ownership percentages for Mr. Panos and Can Euro Holdings will remain the same before and after the completion of the offering. The Company added additional disclosure to clarify that Mr. Panos and Can Euro Holdings will remain the same before and after the completion of the offering. In addition, the Company identified Can Euro Holdings are the other major shareholder within this risk factor.

Security Ownership and Certain Beneficial Owners and Management, pages 22-23
5. We note your response to prior comment 27. Please revise the ownership information for Mr. Edward Panos to include the shares held by his immediate
family members, including his mother, Muriel Panos Johnson, and his brother, Mr. John Panos, and the entities controlled by his brother, namely,
Autostar and Marathon Enterprises. Beneficial ownership includes shares held indirectly through this relationship. Refer to Rule 13d-3. Please note that
Mr. Edward Panos may disclaim ownership in a footnote. Refer to Rule 13d-4.
In response to this comment, the Company discloses on a supplemental basis that Mr. Edward Panos does not, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise have voting power or investment power over the shares held by his immediate family members. Mr. John Panos and Ms. Muriel Panos Johnson are competent adults and do not share the same household or residence as Mr. Edward Panos. Rule 16a-1(a)(2) includes an indirect pecuniary interest in defining beneficial ownership. An indirect pecuniary interest includes shares held by a persons immediate family sharing the same household. The Company respectfully believes that Mr. Edward Panos is not the beneficial owner of shares held by his immediate family members. The Company is concerned that including the shares held by Mr. Edward Panos' immediate family in the disclosure of his beneficial ownership will be confusing and misleading to investors.
Plan of Operations, pages 33 - 38
6. Please revise here and on page 37 to clarify that if you are unable to obtain additional financing, your business will fail, as stated on page 7.
In response to this comment, the Company revised its disclosure to clarify that if their business will fail if they are unable to obtain additional financing.
Plan of Operation for Marketing, pages 35 - 37
7. We note your new disclosure in the final carry-over paragraph on page 37 that you want to become a publicly reporting company because investors
put more value on investments in securities of a company for which they have a readily accessible market to sell their securities. Because your stock
does not currently and may never trade on any market and you will be selling penny stock, it does not appear that this characterization of your stock is
appropriate. Please revise or advise.
In response to this comment, the Company revised its disclosure to more appropriately characterize their stock.
