SANTA CLARA, Aug 15 (Reuters) - High-speed Internet access
provider Covad Communications Group Inc. <COVD.OB> said it
planned to file for bankruptcy protection on Wednesday, after a
company spokesman said the company had inadvertently published
a press release that said it had done so already.
On Aug. 7, Covad said it expected to file for bankruptcy
protection by mid-August and was in talks with bondholders to
eliminate its $1.4 billion debt load.
Covad has been the last big independent digital subscriber
line provider still above water, after bankruptcy filings
earlier by Englewood, Colorado-based Rhythms NetConnections
Inc. <RTHMQ.OB> and NorthPoint Communications Corp.
