I think the news.com article makes it pretty clear that the ENTIRE MCI Internet operation (backbone, peering, 15,000 interconnections) were all sold for $625M. I guess C&W can dump its UUNet customer connections now. -Deepak. On Thu, 28 May 1998, Al Reuben wrote:
The question is (from my confusion) is, since this article was released in London, does 'domestic' imply Europe, or the US? Another words, was the *entire* MCI backbone sold to C&W, or only the European portion of it (is there even a European portion of it?)
