First, Bambi looks like Haifa.
Second, the reason why ATT couldn't do anything with Northpoint was because there was no one with a brain in their head left at Northpoint when ATT bought up the assets.
Third, if ATT can't make anything of Northpoint when it only cost pennies on the dollar, what makes her think they could plow $300M+ for COVD and get anything?
Fourth, I really really want to slap the guy that says that this is an obsolete service. What the hell is this guy gonna buy next month? Telepathy?
Finally, as much as I'd like to see ATT buy COVD, if just to have a somewhat blunt instrument against the Bells, it will never happen. No one wants to touch COVD because they've got stink all over them. A feature that is well, quite deserved.
