Just a wild & crazy idea. Sitting back and watching the MCI acquisition saga unfold, it occurs to me that there is one group who doesn't benefit from the current situation - WorldCom shareholders. Maybe they also have their price. If I were Michael Armstrong - the new CEO of AT&T, I would take a serious look at making a $60/share bid to acquire Worldcom and send MCI back into BT (or GTE)'s arms. The rationale seems compelling: - AT&T gets all of the cost savings that WorldCom-MCI is claiming - AT&T gets a real internet and data business - AT&T takes control of the company that is putting the most downward pressure on market prices - AT&T has minimal regulatory problems (compared to SBC, BEL, GTE) - Armstrong inherits a management team which will help him shake up the corridors of AT&T Can anyone tell me why this is not being considered as a serious possibility? What percent of Worldcom do employees & management own?
