Article intro misleading w.r.t MCI and UUNET
"WorldCom grew largely by acquiring other telecommunications companies, most notably MCI Communications. It also owned the Tier 1 ISP UUNET, a major part of the internet backbone." One possible reading would imply that it owned MCI and UUNET at the same time, which is misleading since divesture of UUNET was required for MCI acquisition close. Perhaps it should read "WorldCom grew largely by acquiring other telecommunications companies, including UUNET Technologies (one of the earliest commercial ISPs) and MCI Communications." --TcomptonMA 02:44, 10 January 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by TcomptonMA (talk • contribs)
