Net access firm PSINet teeters at failure's edge

Article Abstract:

PSINet, a troubled Internet access and Web-hosting firm, appears to be close to its demise after warning that its stock is worthless and that it may file for bankruptcy protection. PSINet is the latest Internet service provider to suffer from the weak economy and the crashing market for high- speed, broadband connections. It was not clear how the company's woes might affect its 20-year, cross-marketing deal with professional football's Baltimore Ravens, the reigning Super Bowl champions.
