The Bankruptcy Court and the FCC completely failed Northpoint customers. Absolutely in no way should this deal have been allowed (AT&T buying Northpoint without at least temporarily providing DSL service).
I can't tell if it is stupidity, politics or corporate lobbying that made this happen. I suspect it is stupidity, because leaving 100,000 DSL customers out in the cold is just too insane.
No, it's not a hoax. Most definitely real. Most definitely will make the inventor wealthy and she deserves it - has worked on this for years and invested a lot of her own money. How refreshing in this age of foolish half-baked ventures run by foolish half-baked CEOs.
Still, I wonder how much radiation pours out of this puppy...
