Re: The Bad News keeps coming....
Covad and Northpoint both could have claimed the money owed to them by dead beat ISP's in there 3rd quarter reports if they wanted to. They chose to be honest about it and face the fact that these ISP's were going to go under. Maybe Rhythms just had wishfull thinking in the matter. |

My question is how Covad and Northpoint had to report these Troubled ISP's. Yet Rhythms has remained silent. I know for a fact that flashcom is a huge partner for the smaller Rhythms. Why have they not released anything. |

That and lucking out in the ISP gamble- major ISP Telocity is flying right & paying bills.
Telocity is paying their bills today, but they are about six months behind Flashcom on their spending. They are to run out of cash in April or so unless they get more funding.
Let's face it, DSL is the ISP unemployment service of 2000. It's impossible for anyone except the ILEC to make money at $39.95 unless you're facilities based. |

There actually is at least ONE clec that was beaten pretty hard in reviews over the past year but is doing alright. Rhythms has been much more conservative in about every way compared to the other clec's. It would appear that stance has left them less exposed than the others (stock price excluded), and they are meeting projections. That and lucking out in the ISP gamble- major ISP Telocity is flying right & paying bills.
Here's to hoping Rhythms can hang on, and set an example for the other clec's |
