Daily Stock Quote! March 26, 2001 - From the SBC Stock Ticker: SBC Communications Inc. stock closed at 41.25, down 0.61 for the day. Telecom Shakeout Approaching - Washington, where the idea for competition in telecommunications was born, is witnessing the beginning of a massive restructuring in this sector. In the past 10 days, local and long-distance telephone service provider E.spire Communications filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy; wireless paging provider Metrocall said it may have to do the same; and high-speed Internet outfit PSINet toiled in a seemingly futile attempt to avoid it. These are the first victims of an epidemic that by some estimates could wipe out more than a thousand service providers in the next few years. The money ran out before these companies could complete the systems they were building. The industry is falling victim to its own success - drowning from an excess of product. The Washington Post, E1.
