We were formed as a Delaware corporation on June 23, 2005 and in February 2006 we became a publicly traded company. Our stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “HUGH.” We operate our business primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiary, HNS, a telecommunications company. We are the world’s leading provider of broadband satellite network services and systems to the enterprise market. We are also the largest satellite Internet broadband access provider to North American consumers, which we refer to as the Consumer market. In addition, we provide managed services to large enterprises that combine the use of satellite and terrestrial alternatives, thus offering solutions that are tailored and cost optimized to the specific customer requirements. We also provide networking systems solutions to customers for mobile satellite and wireless backhaul systems. Since HNS’ deployment of the first very small aperture terminal (“VSAT”) network in 1983, we have been a leader in commercial digital satellite communications and have achieved extensive depth and experience in the development, manufacturing and operation of satellite-based data, voice and video networks. Leveraging this expertise, we provide highly reliable, end-to-end communications with guaranteed quality of service to our enterprise customers regardless of the number of fixed or mobile sites or their geographic location. HNS started in this business as an equipment and system supplier. During 1988, HNS became a service provider to medium and large enterprises including Fortune 1000 companies. In the early part of this decade, HNS leveraged its experience with its enterprise customers to expand its business into other growing market areas such as providing broadband Internet service to the Consumer market. In addition, we have strategically used our technology base and expertise in satellite communication to provide turnkey satellite ground systems and user terminal equipment to mobile system operators.
