The press release is on the UUNET homepage at http://www.uu.net. - paul At 09:56 AM 4/30/96 -0700, Rob Gutierrez wrote:

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% :)

The wire story was short on content. Noone of the on-line newspapers have the story up yet. Needless to say, UUNET's gonna be inundated with questions at I-World today.

Speaking of which, I gotta go there right now ... :)
