Yes, this includes the former Digex Web Hosting employees (from a former
Digex employee...) It does not include the former Digex Leased
Line/Intermedia staff - those that still exist.

I'm not financier, but this price seems rather low considering how large
Worldcom is/used to be and that it includes all former UUNET, MCI, MFS,
WCOM, etc. BTW - did this include Digex as well?
