| Now they are free to offer DSL (if they wish)
Now that Excite@Home is long gone and all cable providers are on their on and AT&T has sold cable to Comcast, I see no reason why they cannot take advantage of Northpoint assets they acquired pennies on the dollar. That is if they wish to do so.
They might have lost money some small money (telco speaking) on this transation but they gained shelf and co-location space on these CO which is much more valuable to the company than the equipment. They will take advantage of this when the market
The more serious issue for AT&T is the reversal of FCC rules that can wipe the CLEC status and access to last mine effectively. Covad is also a loser if that is allowed to happen. Perhaps SBC can acquire Covad since they already own portion of the company anyhow. |
