How Will WorldCom/UUNet Impact The Internet?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ka-THUMP dept.

somewinner writes "CNN.com has an article discussing WordCom's impending failure and its possible impact on the internet. Given that WorldCom (via UUNet) handles 50% of US internet traffic, and a large percentage of traffic worldwide, some concern is certainly justifiable. However, the author of the article seems to think that nothing serious is going to happen."

    1. Worldcom's telecom business has been losing money for a long time now. It's almost a lock that it will be sold off.

    Ooo! A telecom business with hundreds of milions in debt that has been losing money for a long time now? I'll buy one! No, make it two!!
