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.
