VERY GOOD news here: Pacific Bell to expand DSL service in California
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 19 (Reuters) - NorthPoint Communications Group Inc. (NasdaqNM:NPNT - news) and Pacific Bell Internet Services on Tuesday announced a deal to immediately expand Pacific Bell's high-speed Internet access services.
Under the deal, NorthPoint will deliver its Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service, which provides high-speed Internet connections, to Pacific Bell customers who do not have access to the local phone company's DSL equipment, the companies said in a statement.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The deal will help SBC Communications (NYSE:SBC - news), which owns Pacific Bell, expand DSL service in California while its three-year, $6 billion effort to become the top provider of high-speed Internet access is being deployed.
NorthPoint's shares was up $1-5/8 at $21-1/2 in Tuesday afternoon trading on the Nasdaq stock market while SBC fell 15/16 to $47-1/2 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Deal with PacBell/SBC and the recent HSAC deal bode VERY well IMO for this stock at these levels.
Dealt back in this morning
