Chris Hassett
President and CEO PointCast


Chris Hassett is the man who brought us The PointCast Network, which feeds our junkie-like need for news and information without much intervention on our parts; this could be the secret behind PointCast's phenomenal success. Why fill your screensaver with bouncing windows when you can tap into the latest sports scores or whatever news you need? With more than 1 million registered users of The PointCast Network, the company is market ing the I-Server, which is designed specifically for corporate intranets (thus reducing the network-suffocating traffic). n Millennium Forecast: The expansion of corporate intranets and the public Internet into the home environment through high-bandwidth telephone and cable access. n Millennium Disturbance: Privacy issues regarding information and data acquired through an individual's use of the Internet. Car: Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle
