Verizon wins the battle for MCI, pays < 7B.
I'm not financier, but this price seems rather low considering how large Worldcom is/used to be and that it includes all former UUNET, MCI, MFS, WCOM, etc. BTW - did this include Digex as well?
But does anyone really know how big WorldCon is/was? First thing Verizon will have to do is fire the entire billing department and replace them with people/systems that can generate correct bills and send them to the correct customers.
uhm, thats the '70 billing departments' ... or so said the SEC's info about how many billing systems were 'integrated' during the bernie-dynastic-times.
