Covad settles Verizon disputes, inks deal with MCI

NEW YORK,(Reuters) - Broadband service provider Covad and Verizon Communications have settled their litigation and other disputes, the companies said on Wednesday.

The settlement dismisses Covad's pending antitrust case against Verizon and a separate lawsuit Verizon had filed against Covad and it resolves the companies' billing disputes.

In a separate agreement MCI Inc., which Verizon is buying, will recommend Covad's broadband Internet services to its business customers, the companies said.
