Battle for MCI: Q ups the ante

Qwest is not backing down, and has decided to up the ante in its desperate bid to takeover MCI. New price - $8.9 billion or roughly $0.90 a share more than its previous offer of $25.60 a share. The new offer is $13.50 a share in cash and $14 in stock. Looks like there is going to be a pretty nasty long drawn out proxy fight over MCI.
