Re: MCI Accepts Worldcom's Bid?
With this merger, approximately 80% of the Internet will now be controlled by Wcom or it's companys.. wondering when an anti-trust suit will be filed..
80%. Another statistic ;-) Do folks really think integrating three networks of that size would be in Worldcom's best interest? All three networks are already faced with IGP scaling issues, tripling the size would certainly cripple them. Besides, what would be to gain from it? MCI owns their fiber, UUNet owns their fiber, ANS .. Worldcom/MCI owns fiber. Perhaps a few more direct interconnects between the three networks could be referred to as integration. Of course .. now others can't scream conspiracy ;-) -danny
