AT&T and Covad Extend Residential DSL Relationship

AT&T will begin offering residential DSL services using Covad's nationwide network. Previously, Covad was provisioning AT&T-branded DSL service in targeted areas of the country for existing customers of AT&T Worldnet Service, the company's consumer Internet service. AT&T also offers DSL service provisioned over its own facilities in several targeted areas of New York, Texas and California. AT&T said service to these customers is unaffected by the expanded relationship with Covad. AT&T and Covad also have a separate agreement covering business DSL services in the 96 MSAs served by Covad's network.
