CP reportedly won the bidding war by offering 650 billion shares in Cyber Promotions stock and a dozen cases of SPAM to each member of MCI's board. Wall Street was taken completely offguard by this development although it has been rumoured on the street that CP's president has been looking for a means to secure sufficient communication capacity to accomodate the corporation's present and future requirements. The merger will see the creation of SpaMCI. CP's president, contacted at company headquarters in Papua New Guinea, had no comment. Cyber promotions can be contacted at it's email address: Spamford@lawsuit.net
