Roberts the MCI person did not tell the truth when he said that he did
not know how much a connection to the internet costs. How can I make this
this statement ? Simple - I know him. The reporters just cornered him. Why,
they just don't tell the truth. Roberts has an MCI MAIL connection and gets
Internet mail as well - Gee , maybe Com-priv.
Yes, NetworkMCI is a thing to stir up the waters and talk about local telco
adventures. We will see. So the stock will churn a bit.
As far as MCI & the Internet goes, Roberts also had the costs information
available to him with respect to the NSF as well as the cost to MCI. Ie:
How much paper-economic's go on between the 3 - some this group has going.
I have no doubt that what the NSF wants the NSF will get. I would suggest
that important posting, like we are seeing should be sent as a cc:
to vicepresident@whitehouse.gov . Gore may not read it all but, they print
it out and save the stats.
