Cypress Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYCO), a provider of in-building broadband communications services, announced it has signed service agreements with more than 25 of NorthPoint Communications' former business customers within the last two weeks.

In March, the United States Bankruptcy Court approved AT&T's purchase of substantially all of NorthPoint's assets. AT&T chose not to acquire NorthPoint's wholesale business, and without enough funds to keep its network running, NorthPoint notified service providers of an "imminent" shutdown.

Recently Cypress Communications announced a revised business plan that is designed to fully fund the company's ongoing business operations and eliminate the company's need to raise additional capital.
