Aya,

Your favorite COVD may be the next "Baby Bell" according to this:

Covad: Giant Steps for "the Next Baby Bell"
(http://www.businessweek.com/today.htm)

Unlike a lot of telecommunications startups, Covad Communications (COVD)

didn't wait for precisely the right regulatory environment to begin

operations. Instead, it began building a nationwide broadband network

before it had an unambiguous green light from the Federal Communications

Commission. A risky move -- but it proved to be wise once the FCC ruled

on Nov. 18 that regional Bell operating companies have to let digital

subscriber line (DSL) providers, such as Covad, deliver their services

using the Bells' dual voice/data lines instead of limiting these companies

to lines that carry only either voice or data. Covad's stock didn't move

on the day of the announcement, but it had jumped 50% in the previous two

months in anticipation of the FCC's decision. And it still has plenty of

room to run, if all of Covad's plans fall into place.
