Anyone else got a view on what Verizon would do with these non-US operations?

What a bunch of nonsense.

These mergers will be approved largely intact.

MCI is nearly a national intelligence asset, and that fact alone was making lots of people in DC nervous. Blackhats and plineless weasels really don’t like uncertainty.

VZ is a welcomed home for MCI, its secure, stable and under the government’s control.

Plus lets not lose our heads here, these mergers do NOT reduce industry capacity, they only reduce the number of mgt teams.

Time will tell.
