Rhythms Might Go Out Of Business Too
from the and-then-there-was-one dept
I've been detailing my own personal horror story concerning my NorthPoint DSL line. My ISP is working to get me switched over to Rhythms for a new DSL line. So what's the first story I see today? Rhythms is putting themselves up for sale as they're about to be delisted and are running out of cash. So, chances are that after a month or so or no DSL, I'm going to get my new Rhythms connection just in time for them to pull the plug. That should be about the same time Metricom goes out of business taking my ricochet modem with them. This is quite a broadband revolution we're having.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
