Pessimist Nathan? I seems to me that it would be out of character for Worldcom to integrate MCI. They didn't with MFS, ANS or UUNet. Different market targets? -Steve.
I don't think so. They may try different target markets, but the cost savings of merging the internet networks is very big. Yes it is a good idea to make MFS and UUNet separate divisions, because they work better that way. I think you will see MFS + Brooks as one unit and UUNet + ANS + internetMCI as one unit. P.S. In that last messages I said that internetMCI was using Stratacom, they are actually using Fore. -Nathan
