<< There was beer involved. >> That explains it :) Actually I distinctly remember reading that Yahoo would only be receiving the ad revenues while MCI would be receiving the ISP revenues. But can't remember the news item where I read that.... maybe someone else does

AOL pays an hourly rate for it use of WorldCom's network. This is why they recently announced the increase in their monthly unlimited use pricing. Actually I'm surprised I'm not seeing more discussion of Yahoo!'s entry into the ISP business on the thread. I foresee problems with AOL's proprietary content model, I think there's going to be a lot more interesting developments in content on the web, and I don't think AOL is well positioned in this regard. I see major opportunity for Yahoo! here. However, if MCI gets all of the monthly fees from Yahoo! online, then I see less impact to Yahoo!'s bottom line.
