	. Dot-com bust (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In 1994 the Internet came to the general public's attention with the public advent of the Mosaic web browser and the nascent World Wide Web, and by 1996 it became obvious to most publicly-traded companies that a public web presence was no longer optional.
		Communication providers, convinced that the future economy would require ubiquitous broadband access, went deeply into debt to improve their networks with high-speed equipment and fiber optic cables.
		Several communication companies, burdened with unredeemable debts from their expansion projects, sold their assets for cash or filed for bankruptcy.

	David W. Dorman 1954— - SPRINT, PACIFIC BELL AND SBC, AT&T
		Many observers thought that his move to PointCast in late 1997 was motivated by his frustration with having to answer to corporate leaders who did not share his management views, as well as by his desire to be the leader of a company.
		When Dorman became president, the company was chaotic, with communication between departments sorely deficient; in one instance, sales representatives were selling goods that the divisions responsible for production did not have.
		He devoted his time to clarifying the motivation behind the changes AT&T was undergoing, such as the May 25, 2001, purchase of NorthPoint Communications, a network service provider, as well as the spinning off of AT&T Wireless to become an independent company.

	The DLECs' demise
		While many CLECs were founded with modest goals, three companies stood out for their national aspirations: Covad Communications in Santa Clara; NorthPoint Communications in Emeryville, Calif.; and Rhythms NetConnections in Englewood, Colo.
		Today, Rhythms and NorthPoint are out of business, their physical assets snapped up by WorldCom and AT&T, respectively, at garage-sale prices.
		Also the failure of NorthPoint and Rhythms, combined with widespread complaints about shoddy and late DSL installations, have led to a perception the technology is less reliable than cable modems and T-1.
