Covad, Earthlink trial phone and Internet service CHICAGO (Reuters) - Covad Communications Group (COVD.OB: Quote, Profile, Research) and Earthlink Inc. (ELNK.O: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Monday they would test a service offering telephone lines and high-speed Internet access to residential customers, aimed at competing with dominant phone and cable companies. Earthlink, one of the larger U.S. Internet service providers, has seen its base of dial-up subscribers steadily erode due to competition from high-speed service. Earthlink's shares fell sharply last week after SBC Communications Inc., (SBC.N: Quote, Profile, Research) said it would offer broadband Internet access for $14.95 per month. Covad and Earthlink said the trial would begin in October in Dallas, San Francisco, Seattle and San Jose, California. Pricing was not announced. The service will use a technology known as a line-powered system. Covad will lease the copper wires running between customers' homes and the local telephone network, hooking those loops into Covad's own network. News Sourcehttp://www.microsite.reuters.com
