So the rumour is that BCE is interested in MPACT. "...MPACT won't release details until talks have concluded. Shares in MPACT jumped $1.95 to a 52 week high of $12.50 on the Montreal Exchange yesterday. The stock has risen 32 per cent over the past two days. At the top of the mystery buyer list is BCE, which competes directly with MPACT in the Internet access industry through its Sympatico brand. BCE's Bell Canada said last month it plans to launch a company this fall to operate a national high speed network to provide electronic commerce and Internet links for its largest corporate customers. BCE would be able to offer a full slate of electronic commerce services it if acquired MPACT, says the Globe." (c) Copyright 1998 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com
