Yes, especially given that now after taking a new order for an additional
T-1 line to the MCI backbone they are all of a sudden "reevaluating" their
position with regard to selling to resellers and not processing the order...

From the local rag news paper:

"MCI, Microsoft to jointly market on-line services

 WASHINGTON -- MCI Communications Corp., switching its Internet Strategy, 
said it will team up with Microsoft Corp. to jointly market and develop 
services for the burgeoning on-line industry"

The story later goes on to say:

"MCI will promote Microsoft Network, the No. 4 U.S. on-line service, and
sell Microsoft's Internet software through its SHL Systemhouse unit" 

Interesting, No?
