So why did the Interpath ownership sell out to CP&L in the first place?
Could it be that the business was "sunk" before that anyway, hence the
desire to sell?
There seem to be a lot of really smart people around here who used to
work for Interpath. Which makes me wonder if they had a little too much
technical expertise, and therefore too high a payroll, to be successful
in the long run. Their business plan may never have been a successful
one regardless of the sale to CP&L.
