No. The issue is where COVAD does business.

After their bankruptcy in 2000/1, they seriously scaled back their 
operations... especially in the Delaware Valley.

There are many markets where they simply do not compete, primarily 
because of the intrinsic cost of doing business exceeds the market 
potential.

DSL service is not the "barn burner" it was considered back in the 
go-go 90s. Today, Cable services both exceeds DSL in market penetration 
and in analysis's expectations for future expansion.
