Here we go again. Sprint Telecommunications, L.P. has been sued by
Mastercard of all org's. ! The suit was Filed becasue the people at
Mastercard purchased the exclusive rights for credit card sponsorship of
the World Cup 1994 event. Mastercard asked for a temporary injunction
against Sprint. A marketing agency for The World Cup 1994 (ISL) told the
World Cup people NOT to sell telephone calling card rights to Sprint but,
the World Cup President approved it anyway.
I hope they (Sprint) did their homework on this one.
