Re: Covad- waiting for a taker
Don't count on it VinceLee. I don't know that "T" knows their hinnie from a hole in the ground yet.
I think they are waiting for the right moment for the "consumer" broadband spin-off to emerge and carry most of the debt load with it. What they have to spend on buying fire sale CLEC DSL hardware is chump change to the debt load they already carry. A small price to pay for eliminating competition in the non-business market.
If the US market wants a broadband alternative to DSL and the distance limitations in effect, either the spin-off will have to be sold (not likely), or government funding will be needed to keep them afloat. Ha ha. Told you it was get even time for Ma Bell. It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature |
