Re: Another Northpoint
Theoretically, yes, if the sale of the assets releases them from obligation to the contracts they have signed.
But, there is a problem.
I am familiar with Northpoint's lineups.
In the COs, a lot of times, Northpoint's lineups were right next to ours (I worked for both Covad and Ryhthms at different times), and NP had primarily the Copper Mountain platform in use, which at Rhythms, we had also, in addition to Paradyne and Cisco equipment.
As such, I am familiar with all of that equipment.
The thing is, the NP DSLAMs have sat there for so long now that before they could be relit for any useful purpose, they would need to be upgraded.
That is going to be a very expensive proposition, albeit a good one for Copper Mountain. I am sure those guys could use the sales.
Not beyond the realm of possibility, mind you, but an expensive proposition.
How ready they are to do that is questionable.
