MCI and Microsoft will now be building networks together, MCI ditching
Netscape and starting to sell Microsoft network access tools & pushing
MSN...
From the local rag news paper:
"MCI, Microsoft to jointly market on-line services
WASHINGTON -- MCI Communications Corp., switching its Internet Strategy,
said it will team up with Microsoft Corp. to jointly market and develop
services for the burgeoning on-line industry"
The story later goes on to say:
"MCI will promote Microsoft Network, the No. 4 U.S. on-line service, and
sell Microsoft's Internet software through its SHL Systemhouse unit"
Interesting, No?
