R.D.B: An increase of debt beyond the ratio of 0.33( Debt/Equity) always increases the risk. WCOM has raised $12b.

Could you let us know how much of existing debt will be retired and the balance of new debt left for CAPEX.

Thx.

Bond offering going well; WCOM down a smidge. I hope they don't use the proceeds to make another acquisition like ICIX (although it has been a cheap way to get WCOM, with the spread now just 1.2). This could be a great time to use their money to get some really cheap telecom properties.
