Given Prodigy's potential, Slim and his partners bought the service for peanuts. Jamie Kiggen, an Internet analyst for Bear, Stearns, believes that $150 million of the $250 million price was in debt assumption, which means International Wireless put up only $100 million in cash for a company in which IBM and Sears had invested $1 billion. Alfredo Sanchez, director of Carso Global Telecom, emphasizes that his company will tread carefully on this new turf.
