Terms of the 3-year, multimillion dollar agreement were not disclosed. Wards said the selection followed a six month comparative test of MCI, Sprint, AT&T and other carriers. Montgomery Ward's corporate phone bill is approximatly *one million dollars per month*. I'd say MCI landed a juicy one this time. Patrick Townson
