Here is a quote out of the 1 July 2002 issue of informationweek from page 24:
"70% of E-mail in the United States and more than half of worldwide E-mail
travels over WorldCom's Internet backbone, the largest in the world. If
WorldCom were to shut its doors --an unlikely event--the Internet could
crash."
For some reason, I don't think this infrastructure is going to get tossed
aside in a backruptcy proceeding. But, it is interesting that they dominate
the internet.
