CNBC interview of QWST CEO.... 1) Haines: What is this about. QWST: Size does matter 2) Haines: Get around long distance "issue". QWST: Spin off revenue and LD in that territory until Comms act changes. 3) Faber: Is QWST a buyer or seller? Nacchio: Industry transforming from telecom to Broadband. What about BLS? Not happy? BLS valued partner of QWST, not about stock getting hit, about future. Faber: Well...it can be about the stock in the first couple of days. Nacchio. We take the long view, and it takes a bit of time and good comms to get the story out. People might see a ST drop in the stock. Faber: How about number of shares are you issuing....it will be a detriment to the stock price. Nacchio: Using purchase accounting. Why no collar. Nacchio: We're using a superior exchange rate, and QWST has a superior offer. Faber: You and Anchustz selling share. QWST: don't read anything into this, I sell periodically. Wish I could type faster... Steve
