WCOM pays for it using stock. That's why they have very little debt. WCOM can afford ATI easily.

Ibexx, Thanks for the input. As always, I take it seriously and would do well to heed it (my strategy has not changed, though I must admit my returns would come quicker if this happened). I agree, ATI would likely do as well or better in the long run without a merger. It is fun to speculate, though. As you know, I have a hard time taking myself too seriously. ATI + WCOM would be a powerhouse, and after seeing what WCOM did with MCI, you gotta believe they have the gonads to try to do what they want. Regards, Dave
