Here is a balanced article on the increasing demand for international bandwidth that concludes with the thought that MCI WorldCom might want to think about acquiring Global Crossing (GBLX): Message 5983217 Last two paragraphs: David McDonald, portfolio manager at Boston's Essex Investment Management, says he has a "sizable" stake in Global Crossing. "You're betting on increased data flows, increased use of the Internet, better technology for undersea fiber optic transmission and the ability of a company to deliver that end-to-end." McDonald adds that the company would make an attractive acquisition for a large carrier like WorldCom (Nasdaq:WCOM - news) , British Telecom (NYSE:BTY - news) ADR) or AT&T. "It would be a strategic fit for anybody who wants a global network." Seems unlikely to me, but maybe someday. Any thoughts? BTW, this is one of the few threads on SI that remains free from hypers, doom and gloomers and spammers: My thanks to all the people that post factual information on this thread.
