UUNet runs MSN's network. I'm sure this is not a cheap operation. That money more than likely went into network implementation costs, as building a private nationwide dialup network can be quite costly. typical nanog bitter-batter: making assumptions based upon half truths.

Don't give the Evil Empire any ideas....perhaps I've been smoking too much crack, but back when MSN was getting started, Microsoft dumped a large amount of money in UUNET's lap. How much of this ended up going towards UUNET stock? And if they owned a chunk then, they'd own a chunk of Worldcomm now. But then, I may just be smoking too much crack.
