Foolish Feature, 10/15/97: WorldCom Bids for MCI MCI shareholders, therefore, are torn between two lovers, one with hard currency (GTE) and the other with a very valuable stock to swap (WorldCom). MCI, for its part, brings to the party a massive presence in maintaining critical points of the internet's backbone at 18 major nodes, as well as numerous metropolitan area fiber networks, 500 internet POPs, its global fiberoptic lines and partnerships, and transcontinental OC-48 fiberoptic runs. On an asset basis, the deal between GTE and MCI fulfills as much as the proposed merger between WorldCom and MCI the idea of the "integrated telecommunications carrier," which we discussed in last week's Industry Snapshot. www.fool.com /Features/1997/sp971001WorldComMCI.htm   (699 words)

Who Will Pay For MCI/WorldCom Telephone Merger? CAMBRIDGE, MASS.—When the two phone companies MCI and WorldCom announced their merger, they were not met with a nationwide strike as when Puerto Rico decided to privatize its phone company. This new growth was a key promise made to regulators, because MCI and WorldCom had to show they would increase competition with local phone companies in order for their merger to be in the public interest. The image promoted by MCI is that of an audacious upstart, a David that has already defeated at least one Goliath and plans to grow without losing its competitive spunk. www.praxagora.com /andyo/ar/mci_worldcom_labor.html   (941 words)

WorldCom's Iraq deal assailed The contract with WorldCom, which plans to adopt the name of its MCI long-distance unit when it emerges from bankruptcy, has prompted grumbling in the telecommunications industry from people who say it was not put up for bids. She pointed to the company's work on a wireless system in Haiti in the 1990s and a 2002 contract, in which it served as a subcontractor, to provide long-distance connections for a wireless network in Afghanistan. That infuriates WorldCom critics, who say the government has kept the company afloat while the General Services Administration barred Enron and Arthur Andersen from getting contracts after their scandals emerged. seattlepi.nwsource.com /business/123016_worldcomiraq22.html   (884 words)

ITworld.com - Critics blast WorldCom bankruptcy plan Critics of telecommunications giant WorldCom Inc. blasted its bankruptcy reorganization plan during a U.S. Senate committee hearing Tuesday, saying the plan in place neglects to punish the company for its past accounting fraud and puts competitors at a disadvantage in the marketplace.

Spamhaus News - Should ISPs Be Profiting From Knowingly Hosting Spam Gangs? MCI executives have refused to stop providing service to these gangs, insisting that the sale and distribution of stealth spamming software is "not against MCI's policy". We estimate that MCI earns upwards of US$5,000,000 a year from selling service knowingly to known spam gangs, incentive enough for MCI Sales executives to want to keep the income coming, no matter what havoc the paying spam gangs are wreaking to the Internet. MCI Worldcom's official position on the issue is that MCI can't stop their spam gangs selling proxy hijacking spamware from MCI's network as that would be 'censoring' the distribution and sale of illegal proxy hijacking software. www.spamhaus.org /news.lasso?article=158   (1412 words)
