No additional details were available. Oh joy. The possibilities boggle the mind. Does MCI start charging exhorbitant AOS rates? Ken Jongsma ken%wybbs@sharkey.umich.edu Smiths Industries ken@cup.portal.com [Moderator's Note: I think you are mistaken. Telecom*USA is not an AOS. It is a genuine long distance company, with very reasonable rates. MCI has had an AOS provide their operator services in the past, however. What MCI has done is made an offer of $42 per share for Telecom*USA stock, which is well in excess of its present price of $22 per share. PT]
