Re: Another Northpoint

AT&T bought Northpoint and turned it into the ground face first. They illegally kicked off 'a few' thousands subscribers overnight and got away with it.
Mike, as far as I remember AT&T only bought the assets of Northpoint. The customers was belonging to Northpoint till the very end and if someone has cut off the customers' service it was Northpoint itself by selling all its equipment by auction. AT&T had no obligation to provide free service to anyone.

Does the FCC policy of 30 days termination notice mean anything? Or was that a loophole?

FCC had no enforcement on AT&T since they were not AT&T customers. Remember FCC bought only the equipment very much you buy equipment at Ebay but in this case seller said come and pick up the equipment (no shipping)

FCC could try to enforce it on Northpoint but I doubt bankrupt Northpoint having sold its equipment could do anything to satisfy that. You cannot kill dead twice.
