Yes but also take in consideration that Worldcomm has obatained more Fiber companies that Internet providers. It looks like an even count but consider that MCI has their own fiber. MFS was for fiber, Wiltel for fiber, and so on. I'd say they have quite a large chunck there. At 04:57 PM 11/10/97 -0700, Wayne Bouchard wrote:
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.. EricAnti trust? You gotta be kidding. Its not quite that level just yet. Afterall, there is still AT&T, Sprint, BBN/GTE, AGIS, DIGEX, and many others. Not to mention those outside the "big name list". Its not even close to anti trust. If the business practices become anti-competitive, perhaps. But for the deal itself, I think anti-trust is overstating things. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wayne Bouchard GlobalCenter web () primenet com Primenet Network Operations Internet Solutions for (602) 416-6422 800-373-2499 x6422 Growing Businesses FAX: (602) 416-9422 http://www.primenet.com http://www.globalcenter.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
