Covad and SBC Line-Sharing Agreement

Covad Communications and SBC Communications have agreed to resolve an outstanding issue relating to a pre-existing line sharing agreement between the parties. Line sharing allows competitive communications providers to deploy DSL on the same line customers use for their voice phone services.



As a result of the new agreement, Covad may continue to provide line sharing service to new subscribers through September 1, 2005 at existing contract rates. The pre-existing agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which Covad is permitted to order line sharing from SBC at a $5.75 monthly recurring charge and $10 non-recurring charge per customer. http://www.covad.com
