Interesting considering: MCI and News Corp. have an agreement to jointly 
develop/promote InternetMCI and Delphi.  And UUNET and Microsoft have an 
agreement to provide Internet access/MSN dialup.

Wonder if this sort of thing is anything like the cable/telco/media 
"interactive TV" alliances of a year or two ago?
