Good news and partnership with HSAC...High Speed Access Corp. and NorthPoint Communications Partner To Deliver DSL-Based High-Speed Internet Access DENVER and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- High Speed Access Corp. (Nasdaq: HSAC - news) and NorthPoint Communications (Nasdaq: NPNT - news) today announced a strategic partnership to deliver broadband data communications services to small and midsize businesses nationwide. High Speed Access Corp. is a leading provider of high-speed Internet access via cable modems to residential and commercial customers in exurban markets. NorthPoint, a leading competitive local exchange carrier, provides high-speed Internet access over a DSL network currently spanning 28 major U.S. markets.

''High Speed Access Corp. and our cable partners will now be able to take advantage of this tremendous market opportunity.'' ''NorthPoint's agreement with High Speed Access Corp. demonstrates the complementary nature of DSL and cable modem technology,'' said Whitey Bluestein, NorthPoint's chief development officer.

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 chris
