<<Qwest Communications CEO Joseph Nacchio has taken a look at the WorldCom-MCI merger and sees the personality of WorldCom CEO Bernard Ebbers, but gets lost on his logic. "Bernie is a smart guy," said Nacchio at the Communications Managers Association conference here on Tuesday. "But the question is: How can you spend that much money for a company [in] voice long distance?">> The answer is that Wcom wants all of MCI's business "voice" customers so it can sell them the "data" services. It will be a conversion of voice to data, so its good to have the voice customers to convert to data.
