MCI
I don't know the exact nature of they partnership, just that MCI managed to stay afloat after the grand jury and the indictments.
The merger with Verizon seems to be on track, but subject to regulatory approval, which could take till end of year. They shouldn't have any trouble getting approval if SBC's merger with AT&T is approved.

Hmm... Qwest 🤣 This all falls under one phrase: "If you can't piss with the big dogs, stay on the porch." Qwest may swing a bigger money bag at MCI, but that hand holding it is weak...
I don't know why this matters, considering Verizon Comm is a completely seperate company from Verizon Wireless, BUT, According to stock holder's interest in Qwest, it was said that outbidding Verizon is not in the best financial interest for the future of the company.
