thestreet.com article. [MCI holding off on capital spending until after WCOM merger. Very bullish for ASND long-term IMHO.] thestreet.com Excerpt: The safe harbor away from PCs has been networking and telecom equipment. Make that sort of a safe harbor. MCI (MCIC:Nasdaq) has been almost completely absent from the capital-spending side, holding off most purchases until after the WorldCom (WCOM:Nasdaq) merger. To make matters worse, WorldCom has changed its purchasing plans to force vendors to just-in-time delivery. WorldCom will no longer carry equipment inventory and expects delivery just as it needs to deploy.
