WSJ: Verizon Sues DSL Competitor Covad

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. local telephone carrier Verizon Communications Inc has filed a lawsuit against Covad
Communications Group Inc (Nasdaq:COVD - news) accusing the company of falsifying complaints about Verizon`s service, the
Wall Street Journal reported in its online edition on Tuesday.

Citing the suit filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in San Jose, the newspaper reported Verizon alleges Covad managers
instructed employees to deceptively shift blame to Verizon for many of the technical difficulties Covad has in providing high-speed Internet service using
digital-subscriber line (DSL) technology.

Verizon`s suit comes amid a legal and regulatory brawl between the two companies, the newspaper said. Covad filed an antitrust suit against the New York-based
Verizon in 1999, and Verizon is appealing the loss of a patent suit against Covad, it reported.

Covad`s general counsel, Dhruv Khanna, denied that Covad invented complaints about Verizon`s performance to cover up its own ineptitude, the newspaper
reported.

``Our employees certainly were not instructed to blame Verizon for anything,`` Khanna told the paper.
