You are so badly misinformed it is completely pathetic.

<<<
Hambrecht & Quist have obviously shorted ISP comapanies and related
technologies and are now exploiting the self-serving RBOC propaganda campaign of
lies and misinformation about the impact of internet access on the existing
infrastructure.
>>>

Dan Case is the CEO of Hambrecht & Quist. Dan Case is the BROTHER of Steve Case, the CEO of America OnLine.

But more importantly, H&Q has been and continues to be the #1 web / internet investment bank. They would never short the companies they brought public, you ignorant twit. They would lose all credibility and all their business. They have an ENORMOUS interest in making sure that the web works for their clients.

I give them great credit for putting aside the short-run profitability concerns and taking a stand on the issue so that the web turns out the best for everyone in the long run.
