NorthPoint Communications Group Inc.

NorthPoint Communications Group, Inc. specialized in offering rapid network and data transmission services. These services were designed to empower internet service providers, broadband data providers, and both local and long-distance telephone companies in fulfilling the connectivity demands of small and medium-sized enterprises, home office professionals, and remote workers. Established in 1997 and headquartered in Emeryville, California, the company had previously operated as a subsidiary of AT&T Corp. However, in January 2001, NorthPoint sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection through the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. This Chapter 11 filing was subsequently converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation on June 12, 2001, by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division.
