December 8, 1998 11:30am Shares of AT&T Corp. (NYSE: T)  
and IBM (NYSE: IBM) surged Tuesday after AT&T bought  
IBM's global network business for $5 billion in cash. Shares  
of AT&T rose 3 1/8 to 67 7/8 and Big Blue added 2 5/16 to  
169 1/2 morning trading.  
... 
Through the IBM networking business, AT&T gains access to  
large global companies, mid-sized businesses and more than  
1 million individual Internet users in 59 countries. About 5,000  
IBM employees will join AT&T. Through the outsourcing  
deals, more than 2,000 AT&T employees will be offered  
positions at IBM.  
... 
"These strategic agreements are all about growth," said  
AT&T CEO C. Michael Armstrong, in a statement. "The  
acquisition of IBM's global data network will accelerate our  
ability to deliver IP-based services to global customers. It will  
give us a sophisticated new platform for revenue growth."  
.. 
AT&T said its acquisition of IBM's high capacity network  
would support the 100-city, IP-based network that would be  
created as part of the global joint venture announced by  
AT&T and BT in July.  
... 
IBM's Global Network has more than 1,300 dial-up points of  
presence and dedicated access from more than 850 cities in  
59 countries.
