NorthPoint Shuts Down DSL Network

Customers should expect Internet access services to end immediately, company says.

NorthPoint Communications warned its customers Wednesday to "expect network outages and termination of DSL services immediately."

The company will close its digital subscriber line Internet access network, having failed to find funding to continue operations, the company says in a statement.

NorthPoint filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on January 16, enabling it to continue operations while it liquidated its assets, and on March 22 sold some assets to AT&T, hoping this would buy it time to migrate customers to other services in an orderly fashion.

That effort has been unsuccessful, the company said Wednesday, urging customers to contact their Internet service providers, which offer Internet access over NorthPoint's network, directly for information about future service.
