I read a Dow Jones report entitled:
WorldCOM-MFS merger Spells Trouble for Baby Bells
WorldCom (still called WilTel by most Internet folks) bought MFS for (at
Friday's stock prices) $47.78 per share in stock. In reaction, WorldCom
stock is down, MFS stock is up.
From an operations standpoint, the options of who to work with are getting
narrower...
