From your first post it appears that AOL is getting the $200M, the "consumer division" and other considerations for ANS:

"WorldCom then plans to acquire AOL's business services unit in exchange for CompuServe's consumer division, $200 million and other considerations, the people said. "

The consumer division may not be all of CSi but may include some of SPRYNET. CSRV has plans for small businesses through CSi worldwide that WCOM would want to keep, in my mind.

Also, the CSRV IPO had special "rights" in case of a buyout bid.
I wonder if they are material in this case.

Confused,
Joe
