I'm not sure what was is planning on doing by going on fox. Seems a bit silly to me.

[jasonvw]

think hes trying to find some more US money. pretty smart really.

He's on FOX because he's basically saying, "hey Americans!!! Please buy me out! Please buy out my crappy spectrum so that I can makes millions and move to Rio de Janeiro and sleep with hot models every night!"

[gwill211]

hilarious cause its true.

[tomtomtom]

Ok, he wants US money indeed and

He is wearing a tie not pulled all the way up. Would you invest in him? He sounded desperate too.

[Gordon Gartrell]

I wouldn't tell my worst enemy about Public Mobile. I can tell the customer service will be a nightmare too.

[cm0101]

I've better Cell Phone Coverage in Mexico then Canada

Best. Line. Ever.

[dragun]

His prerogative is to make money I guess that microwave frequency is starting to hurt them maybe device wise? I think Public should focus on their launch and start creating awareness that they are coming soon instead of running to American and asking for $

[kEiThZ]

A good chunk of the interview seems to be concern over "Egyptian" money coming into Canada. Typical Fox News hatemongering. This guy's just going on there to play to American's fears about foreigners and hopefully to drum up investment at the same time. Shameful.

I can't believe this douchebag would sell out his own country like this.

[SharpieFiend]

No, it's not typical Faux News hatemongering because they actually corrected him when he tried to say it was *all* Egyptian money.

Then again if the government was OK with Globalive getting 65% of their money from Orascom then they should extend the same courtesy to Public Mobile.

I agree with that. But I do have a problem with how he is delivering his message.

[ecomputer_ca]

I don't care about the fact he wants to get some money... he's full of crap though. He's clearly misrepresenting the Orascom investment in a bid to play the US people against us.

"It would be a travesty if the Canadian government put Egyptian money in front of US money."

Alek, you are a piggy pig. If a US company wants to LOAN you money in exchange for less than 33.3% of voting shares... I'm down. Don't lie about how now AT&T/TMo/Verizon should be allowed to buy all of Bell and Rogers and walk away with every company Canadians currently have voting shares in.

That guy is a dink.

Cashed in his shares from his previous employments as a top level exec at both Bell and Rogers?
