excerpt from Network World analysis of WCOM / MCI.

"...Holy Internet backbones

No doubt, local services are what Ebbers and MCI Chairman
Bert Roberts want the federal watchdogs to keep their eyes on.
But the fact is, WorldCom's growing dominance in the Internet
market will be increased dramatically with MCI's backbone and
customers.

Between WorldCom's pending acquisitions of ANS
Communications, Inc., CompuServe Network Services and MCI's
Internet network, WorldCom's Internet properties will expand to
more than 1,800 point-of-presence sites worldwide. WorldCom
will be carrying more than half of all business traffic that goes
over the Internet if the MCI deal goes through, said Thomas
Nolle, president of CIMI Corp., a Voorhees, N.J.-based
consulting firm.''

Seems like someone will have to make a move soon to grab PSIX or cede this market to WCOM.
