Re: If incompetence were a crime, Hoffman would be in jail.
Regardless, the stock holders get screwed (big time) and I'm sure Covad management will come out smelling like a rose.
Back when Covad stock was over 2.00, Hoffman said there was no way they were going to sell at those prices and than he goes ahead and sells for less than half that. LOL, I guess he didn't sell at those prices.

My point was that Covad has maintained (and, with its new owners, continues to maintain) its independence, unlike, say, NorthPoint, which fell into the ATT maw years ago....

said by calvoiper  :Maybe you think Hoffman is incompetent, but originally there were three companies that jumped into DSL in a big way: Covad, Rhythms, and NorthPoint. Only Covad survives. The others went the bankruptcy/acquisition route. Covad did go bankrupt. They got rid of their debt, yet still manage to bleed money every quarter... Terrible managment + ILEC scheming. |
