Re: OH CRAP

They could always auction on eBay? what are the chances that people that have large co-location facilities might be interested in taking on a large pre-built network like NorthPoint?

Re: OH CRAP

It looks like a good time for Microsoft to walk in. Let them solve all our problems. Buy it Microsoft, buy Northpoint! Save our DSL lines and we will be eternally grateful and we will buy all your software. Save Northpoint, Microsoft, keep my MSN Highspeed account afloat.

Maybe Bill Gates might read this!

Re: OH CRAP

Considering the reports I've been reading about MSN's implementation of DSL, you may want to reconsider that hope.

ROFLMAO! "Solve all our problems?" Oh yeah, just what I want: my existing platform-independent, reliable DSL connection held hostage to Microsoft's tender mercies. NOT!

Buy it Microsoft, buy Northpoint! Save our DSL lines and we will be eternally grateful and we will buy all your software.

<sniff...> Hmmm... Do I smell a troll?

Gag. MSN. I think I'd rather Army Of Lusers. And I think seppuku before either.

Maybe Bill Gates might read this!

I'm sure he would be gratified. Unless... <sniff> <sniff...> I'd swear I smell a troll...

It would be in Microsoft's interest to buy into North Point. ISP's will have the security to deploy their MSN and enterprise services more efficiently, not as a liability.

I agree North Point has solid business service and great customer relations. Whom ever buys in with North Point will gain solid footing in the Internet territory.
