He continued to imply negatives as the CEo could only try to keep his composure. That little $%#%^& should be outlawed from speakin, what right does he have, AHHHH From what I hear here it sounds as if he brought up valid points from a public legal document and the CEO couldn't explain them away. What's wrong with this? I wish they'd grill all companies and CEOs, instead of softballing them and giving them hype podiums.

I actually felt that a discerning investor would have come away from the interview feeling very good about HSAC. The CEO eloquently defended HSAC's prospects. I find it interesting that the company has been branded an “Internet Company” by CNBC among others. Especially when that term seems to primarily encompass content-based companies. HSAC provides connectivity. Remember the much ballyhooed and coming “Internet II”? Who will provide the connectivity there (I bet you can guess, it was alluded to at the end of the interview)? I also find it interesting that CNBC has engineered a complete flip on “Internet Company” reporting (bullish to bearish). I believe that the interviewer was actually just towing the CNBC line and was trying to start a witch-hunt. HE FAILED. The Interviewer mentioned that he had just finished reading excerpts from the HSAC prospectus. I'll assume he did not finish. He was clearly not prepared for the interview, the HSAC President, Pitcock, was. Again, judging by the grin on the interviewer's face at the beginning of the interview he probably thought he was about to dismantle a President on national television. HE FAILED MISERABLY.
