MegaPath, the entity which emerged from this summer's three headed corporate merger of Covad, MegaPath, and SpeakEasy, is simply taking the opportunity to prune unnecessary branches and focus on its national managed services platform. Covad Wireless, which derived from Covad's NextWeb acquisition a few years ago, was a regional provider that didn't fit that profile and was therefore a non-core asset. It does seem to make more sense within the orbit of TelePacific, which has an incentive to put money into its expansion. Since substantial layoffs seem unlikely, I'd guess that Covad Wireless employees probably welcome the deal overall since the uncertainty over the units future within MegaPath would have lingered.
