The story, "Covad deal revives Silicon Valley wireless plan," posted to the wire on Monday, inadvertently implied that Seth Fearey of Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network had criticized the choice of Azulstar as builder and operator of a Silicon Valley wireless network and that the future of Covad Communications' business was uncertain. The story has been clarified on the wire and the eighth paragraph now reads as follows:
"We just want someone to come in and offer good-quality service and make money at it, so that it can be upgraded, kept current and be valuable for the long term," Fearey said. The choice of Azulstar was made by Metro Connect, the partnership of Cisco, IBM and nonprofit SeaKay, he said. There's no guarantee of Covad's future involvement, but the company brings valuable assets such as its existing backhaul network, he said. A Cisco representative was not immediately available for comment.
