Given WorldCom's past integration history with the UUNet, along with their earlier offshoots like Gridnet; I would tend to agree that they will keep these companies functionaly disparate at least for the near future.
I got quotes for a T1 about 2 months ago. MFS would only quote the telco portion if they also got the ISP portion...
Believe it, WorldCom is starting to merge their divisions. At least here in Silicon Valley.
Just two months ago I ordered from MFS/Worldcom a 26 mile point-point T-1 to connect our main sales/development office in San Francisco to our equipment at the PAIX. No mention was ever made of bundling internet access with it, and in fact I ordered it via a salesperson down in the San Jose office. The price was very competitive -- in fact, it was exactly half what Pac Bell quoted me. If you need the name of a Worldcom sales person in San Jost that does not suck, please email me and I'll give you her info. -- Wayne D.
