Covad On The Mend

ewhac writes "The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that Covad, who filed for bankruptcy protection last year, is slowly regaining strength. With $246 million in cash, Covad claims it has enough to carry it to profitability. They've also struck a deal with AOL to provide high-speed connectivity to AOL customers. The battle isn't over, though, as Pacific Bell continues to undercut Covad's offerings. Covad is effectively Pacific Bell's only remaining competitor for DSL service. As a happy Covad customer through Speakeasy.net, I'm pleased I won't be forced into PacBell's or AT&T's hands any time soon."

All right! Now AOL users can find out 50 times quicker how much their ISP sucks!

From the article:

Hoffman said he needed to upgrade the management team to help turn around the company. And some Wall Street watchers are already impressed with the early results. "I think they can turn the corner," Grover said.

Well, duh. All they needed to do is go online and upgrade from Management V1.0 to Management V2.0 and then do incremental upgrades there after.
