<Global Crossing to Provide Microsoft Network in Europe...> Just saw that and came to read the reactions. I guess everybody's eye is firmly off the ball now and just on the stock price since there was only one post. Looks like yet another good deal to me. Major customer. A customer that could afford the best and demands the best I would expect. Yet you can buy the completed $20 Billion Network for $5 Billion plus debt.

I don't believe there was any $ specified in the deal MSFT had with LVLT either. I wonder if it is at MSFT's request (demand) to not release terms of the deal. Anyway, a big win, not just because of revenue, but because of landing the high-profile client. MSFT has it's hands in everyone else's baskets, so GX's potential for referrals and follow-up business just got a little brighter.
