As somebody mentioned today, an AP wire story came across this morning that MFS is _buying_ UUNET for $2 billion. Shareholders are looking at getting 1.78 shares of MFS for each of their shares. Apparently, they got 62% of the voting shareholders to agree (ie: who owns a couple of large chunks of UUNET?).

Remember that Microsoft already has their claws into UUNET for 13% :)
