MCI Issues October 2003 Monthly Operating Results









ASHBURN, Va., December 15, 2003 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today filed its October 2003 monthly operating report with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. During the month of October, MCI recorded $1.977 billion in revenue, essentially flat with September revenue of $1.951 billion.

The Company had a net loss in October of $194 million, of which $136 million relates to prior period transactions identified as part of the Company`s ongoing restatement process. The net loss reflects a $102 million increase in miscellaneous expense primarily from prior period transactions, as well as a decline in the Company`s operating income.

In October, the Company reported an operating loss of $35 million, primarily reflecting an increase in the costs of services and products of $32 million as well as an increase in access costs of $51 million resulting from higher volumes and the impact of favorable accrual adjustments in the prior month. Results reflect a reclassification of certain selling, general, and administrative expenses to costs of services and products which had no net impact on operating loss.

During the month of October, MCI recorded capital expenditures of $74 million. October`s cash balance increased to $5.4 billion from $5.3 billion in September.

The financial results discussed in the October 2003 Monthly Operating Report exclude the results of Embratel. On November 12, 2003, the Company announced its intentions to sell its investment stake in Embratel. Until MCI completes a thorough balance sheet evaluation, the Company will not issue a balance sheet or cash flow statement as part of its Monthly Operating Report.

The Monthly Operating Reports are available on MCI`s Restructuring Information Desk at: http://global.mci.com/news/infodesk/forward/operating_report…

Based on the Company`s confirmed Plan of Reorganization, holders of WorldCom preferred stock, WorldCom group common stock and MCI group common stock will not receive any value upon MCI`s emergence from bankruptcy proceedings.

MCI Expands and Simplifies Remote Access Solution to Include International Hotpots and PDA Access










MCI Increases Customer Mobility with Addition of Wireless Internet and PDA Access on Five Continents via Boingo Wireless

ASHBURN, Va., December 16, 2003 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today announced it has expanded its remote access services to provide traveling and remote workers with additional high-speed wireless access points and the ability to access information from a personal digital assistant (PDA) through a roaming agreement with Boingo Wireless. With the addition of more than 2,000 global wireless hot spot access points to its existing 600 U.S. Wi-Fi locations, MCI is able to provide customers with the tools necessary to conduct business from almost anywhere in the world.

"MCI is committed to making our remote access solutions simple and secure for our customers," said Nancy Gofus, senior vice president MCI marketing. "By expanding our hot spot capabilities internationally and making it possible for workers on-the-go to remain connected, our customers no longer worry about missing important messages no matter where they are."

MCI Remote Access customers will be able to access corporate networks, applications and email from a personal digital assistant (PDA). By expanding MCI`s Access Manager client to work on a PDA, customers can access the same features and functionality they have come to expect from their remote access solution on a personal computer. Adding PDA accessibility to MCI`s Remote Access solution allows customers to take the functionality of their PC out of the office in a handheld device.

Through its roaming agreement with Boingo Wireless, MCI has expanded its Wi-Fi remote access capabilities to more than 2,600 global hotspots including hotels, airports, restaurants and convention centers. MCI plans to add an additional 3,000 wired and wireless hotspot locations in 2004.

With the expansion of MCI`s Wi-Fi access locations, business customers will be able to access MCI`s Remote Access services from a wireless connection or PDA in more than 19 countries including, Japan, Mexico, the United Kingdom and South Africa later in 2004. Utilizing high-speed wireless hot spot connections or a PDA allows remote users to remain connected without having to worry about incurring long-distance or international calling fees or finding a place to connect a personal computer. In addition, MCI Remote Access customers benefit from having one supplier for technical support and a consolidated bill for all access charges.

By integrating wireless, dial-up, DSL, Ethernet and PDA access points into MCI`s Access Manager client, customers experience a seamless solution to launch a VPN client, authenticate access and manage user profiles. The new MCI Access Manager client includes improved hot spot integration to automatically discover and configure wireless access on the end user`s PC and identify locally available MCI hot spots. MCI`s VPN solution allows customers to securely connect in more than 140 countries, and when combined with other MCI security features give customers a highly secure end-to-end connection.

As a recognized leader in IP solutions, MCI provides its Remote Access customers with access to MCI`s global IP backbone - the farthest reaching IP network based on company owned Points of Presence (PoPs). MCI has received numerous awards for its network solutions including recognition by the SANS institute for MCI`s security procedures.

Glaube ich nicht, da die Handelsaussetzung vorab bekanntgegeben werden muß. Diese Firma ist ziemlich groß (20 mio Kunden und einige davon wohl auch Aktionäre) und hat die Shareholders bereits arglistig getäuscht, so daß sie sich eine "Nichtmitteilung" einfach nicht erlauben kann, zumal jetzt tendieren die Aktien ja gegen 0. Wenn ich es mir mal rechnerisch überlege, dann komme ich nur auf eine Summe von ca. 32,5 Mio Euro für alle 2,96 milliarden Aktien; es ist wirklich lächerlich billig.

MCI Teams With North American Aerospace Defense Command To Track Santa`s Journey On Christmas Eve










--Toll-Free Hotline Enables Children to Connect to NORAD Santa Tracking Team --

ASHBURN, Va., December 22, 2003- MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today announced it has once again teamed with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to provide toll-free calling to the NORAD Tracks Santa hotline, so children can track Santa Claus`s global Christmas Eve journey. Beginning December 24 at 7:00 a.m. (MST) through December 25 at 1:00 a.m. (MST), children across the U.S and Canada can call 1-877-HI-NORAD, to determine Santa`s exact location throughout Christmas Eve.

Using advanced radar and satellite tracking technology, the men and women of NORAD will begin tracking Santa`s worldwide travels in the early morning of December 24. More than 400 volunteers, including MCI employees, will be continuously manning the NORAD Santa Tracking hotline. Callers residing in the local Colorado Springs, Colo. calling area can reach the hotline by dialing 719-474-2111.

Through its relationship with MCI, NORAD is able to provide toll-free calling for the second time in its 49-year history. Children across America and Canada will be able to access the NORAD Santa Tracking hotline without incurring long distance charges. In 2002, nearly 27,000 calls were received.

"We`re proud to be donating our time and services to a tradition that warms the hearts of children all over the country," said Jerry Edgerton, senior vice president of MCI Government Markets. "The annual NORAD Tracks Santa Hotline is a creative use of MCI`s toll-free calling service that captures the imagination of children while teaching them how the communications system connects us to individuals and information."

Real-time information on Santa`s exact location - in English, French, Spanish, Portugese, Italian and Japanese - complete with radar maps and streaming SantaCam video images documenting his global journey past some of the world`s most famous landmarks - are available via the Internet at the "NORAD Tracks Santa" Web site (www.noradsanta.org).

NORAD is the bi-national U.S.-Canadian military organization responsible for the aerospace defense of the United States and Canada. NORAD was created by a 1958 agreement between Canada and the United States. The agreement has been renewed nine times, most recently in 2000.

NORAD`s Santa tracking tradition started by accident in 1955 after a local newspaper ran a department store advertisement featuring a special `Santa Hotline` phone number. But instead of ringing a phone at the store, the phone number turned out to be the `Operations Hotline` to Continental Air Defense Command (NORAD`s predecessor).

The senior officer on duty at the time was Colonel Harry Shoup (who still resides in Colorado Springs). Colonel Shoup took the first call and quickly figured out what had happened after hearing six-year-olds asking if they could speak to Santa. The colonel said he was helping Santa, telling the children he could see Santa on the radar screens heading south from the North Pole.

Local news media learned of the calls and reported the story. The next year, calls came flooding into Continental Air Defense Command from children who wanted to know where Santa was on Christmas Eve. Thus, a tradition was born - a tradition NORAD assumed in 1957. Since then, the program has gradually grown over the years, expanding to the Internet in 1997 and the introduction of toll-free calling in 2002.

MCI Enables US Troops in Iraq to Call Home for the Holidays











Company to Provide Free Phone Calls December 22 - January 5

ASHBURN, Va., December 22, 2003 - In an effort to bring military families, friends and loved ones together this holiday season, MCI is providing free telephone calls December 22 through January 5 to US Armed Forces personnel stationed in Iraq. In addition, MCI is distributing prepaid calling cards, reducing calling rates and making resources, technology and employee support available around the world for military personnel and their families. "When you can`t be home for the holidays, a phone call can lift your spirit and ease your mind," said Jerry Edgerton, senior vice president of MCI Government Markets. "MCI is proud to help bring families together this holiday season, especially for the service men and women defending our country."

For those service members in Iraq, MCI has established calling locations at strategic military sites in the country. The MCI calling centers will be outfitted with more than 45 phones and military personnel will be able to make free calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, the calling centers will be connected to a network MCI built in Iraq to specifically support morale phone calls.

In an effort to help those military troops and families traveling through, stationed or recuperating in the United States, MCI has provided more than 93,000, 100-minute pre-paid calling cards to military support groups for distribution this holiday season. Calling cards have also been provided to Walter Reed and Bethesda Medical centers and for distribution at Baltimore Washington and Atlanta Hartsfield airports. These calling cards will enable troops and their families to make free local, long distance and international calls from anywhere in the United States.

As part of its continued support for the Marine Corps personnel stationed in Okinawa and Camp Fuji Japan, MCI will lower its rates from December 20 to January 5 for telephone calls placed to the United States. Many of the service men and women in Japan have been involved in the U.S. military efforts in the war against terrorism.

MCI will also complete Military Affiliate Radio System (MARS) calls for free. Service members located around the globe, using single channel radio to the states, will be able to place these calls.

MCI bekommt wieder US-Regierungsaufträge
08.01.2004 um 10:09 Uhr

MÜNCHEN (COMPUTERWOCHE) - Den gigantischen Bilanzskandal hat die US-Beschaffungsbehörde General Services Administration Worldcom/MCI schnell verziehen: Das Unternehmen wurde von einer schwarzen Liste genommen, die ihm verbot, um neue Regierungsaufträge mitzubieten oder bestehende Kontrakte zu verlängern. Dort war MCI seit Juli vergangenen Jahres aufgeführt. Gutes Timing, denn in vier Tagen steht ein Großvertrag von MCI über die Bereitstellung von Telefonie-, Daten und Videodiensten für verschiedene Behörden zur Erneuerung an. Der als "FTS2001" bekannte Deal gehört zu den größten der öffentlichen US-Hand und brachte MCI laut GSA-Sprecher David Drabkin im vergangenen Jahr rund 400 Millionen Dollar Umsatz. Die anstehende Verlängerung um ein Jahr bezeichnete Drabkin als "wahrscheinlich".
MCIs Chairman und CEO, der frühere Compaq-Chef Michael Capellas, erklärte in eine Stellungnahme, sein Unternehmen habe alles unternommen, um sich zu rehabilitieren: "Die heutige Entscheidung der GSA ist ein Zeichen für Vertrauen in die neue MCI." Drabkin zufolge wurde MCIs Geschäftsgebaren zuletzt gründlich unter die Lupe genommen. "Das Unternehmen macht seine Geschäfte jetzt korrekt, und für die Regierung besteht keine Gefahr", meint der GSA-Mann. Allerdings habe seine Behörde den TK-Riesen mit Auflagen belegt. MCI müsse in den kommenden drei Jahren wichtige Änderungen im Management oder bei internen Kontrollmechanismen melden, und auch jegliche neuen Vorwürfe oder Ermittlungen. (tc)

MCI Announces Planned Reduction in Bank Facility and Extension of Expiration Date for Election Forms







ASHBURN, Va., January 8, 2004 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today announced it plans to reduce the size of its Debtor-in-Possession Credit Facility to $300 million from $1.06 billion. The credit facility was arranged at the time the Company filed for reorganization under U.S. bankruptcy laws. Since then, MCI has accumulated cash balances which currently are in excess of $5 billion. With no currently expected need to borrow funds, MCI has elected to decrease the credit facility and thereby reduce the commitment fees it is paying. MCI anticipates the reduced size credit facility will only be used when necessary to provide letters of credit. At present, the Company has approximately $80 million of outstanding letters of credit.

In addition, MCI announced that the expiration date for the delivery of election forms by the holders of claims in classes 5, 11 and 13 of the Company`s plan of reorganization is being extended to 4:15 p.m. (Eastern Time) on January 20, 2004. These election forms allow the holders to elect to receive notes and/or common stock of the reorganized Company upon its emergence from bankruptcy. The previous expiration date was 4:15 p.m. (Eastern Time) on January 9, 2004.

MCI Issues November 2003 Monthly Operating Results













ASHBURN, Va., January 16, 2003 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today filed its November 2003 monthly operating report with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. During the month of November, MCI recorded $1.79 billion in revenue versus $1.98 billion in October 2003, reflecting fewer business days during the month and non-recurring equipment sales in October 2003.

November`s operating loss of $21 million was $14 million better than October, with lower access costs and a sales, general and administrative (SG&A) reduction of $144 million which more than offset the lower revenue levels.

The Company had a net loss in November of $23 million, an improvement of $171 million from October. The improvement resulted from lower restatement items compared to October.

During the month of November, MCI recorded capital expenditures of $90 million. November`s cash balance increased to $5.7 billion from $5.4 billion in October.

The financial results discussed in the Monthly Operating Reports exclude the results of Embratel. On November 12, 2003, the Company announced its intentions to sell its investment stake in Embratel. Until MCI completes a thorough balance sheet evaluation, the Company will not issue a balance sheet or cash flow statement as part of its Monthly Operating Report.

The Monthly Operating Reports are available on MCI`s Restructuring Information Desk at: http://global.mci.com/news/infodesk/. Based on the Company`s confirmed Plan of Reorganization, holders of WorldCom preferred stock, WorldCom group common stock and MCI group common stock will not receive any value upon MCI`s emergence from bankruptcy proceedings.

MCI Provides 2004 Financial Guidance








Company on track for February 2004 emergence from Chapter 11

ASHBURN, Va., January 22, 2004 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today provided financial guidance for full-year 2004. MCI expects to generate revenue between $21 billion and $22 billion, a decline of approximately 10 to 12 percent versus expected 2003 results, primarily reflecting overall industry conditions and continued declining trends in the consumer market. Operating income is expected to be between $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion, which includes depreciation and amortization of $1.7 billion and restructuring charges of approximately $100 million, resulting in an increase of $300 million to $400 million versus expected 2003 results. Net operating cash flow is expected to exceed $1 billion, after capital expenditures of 6 to 8 percent of revenues, but including proceeds from the sale of certain non-core assets.

The Company remains focused on delivering an innovative set of products and services which take advantage of advancements in converged voice and data networks, as well as an aggressive cost reduction program, which includes a reduction of sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expense by 15 to 20 percent versus expected 2003 results. The Company expects to achieve this reduction through increased on-net utilization, selective outsourcing, attrition and workforce reductions as necessary. MCI remains on track to emerge from U.S. Chapter 11 protection in February 2004.

"Last year we made tremendous strides in improving MCI`s financial health and returning to a path toward market leadership," said Bob Blakely, MCI executive vice president and chief financial officer. "While current market conditions remain difficult, we believe our solid enterprise performance, our industry-leading IP strengths and ability to serve businesses globally position us well to succeed over the long-term."

Business Segments

Following are highlights related to each of the company`s three business segments:

Business Markets revenue, which includes sales to U.S. domestic enterprise customers, is expected to decline 6 to 8 percent versus 2003. Continued competitive pricing pressure, especially in Small and Medium-sized Business and traditional long-distance services, is expected to be partially offset by gains in new product offerings, such as multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) and other Internet-protocol (IP)-based services, as well as a broad range of Managed Services offerings. The Company expects better than overall revenue trends in its Enterprise and Government Markets segments.

International revenue, which includes sales to Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Asia-Pacific and Latin America commercial customers, is expected to decline at similar levels to Business Markets. Continued competitive pricing pressure is expected to be partially offset by stable volumes in EMEA and new entries into emerging countries. MCI continues to operate the largest facilities-based network with the highest total points-of-presence of any international carrier.

Mass Markets revenue, or sales to domestic U.S. consumers, is expected to decline 20 to 25 percent versus 2003. This reflects continued long-distance industry revenue declines primarily due to wireless substitution, intensified competitive conditions and the impact of national Do Not Call legislation. Mass Markets will continue to focus on the U.S. local services markets and plans to launch a consumer voice-over IP initiative in 2004.

2004 Capital Expenditures
MCI has invested $38 billion in its network over the past six years, placing it in a position of strength to benefit from the industry`s move toward IP. Today, MCI`s IP network can connect customers to more places, more directly, than any other IP network in the world. Continuing to invest for the future, the Company expects 2004 capital expenditures to be 6 to 8 percent of revenue. MCI is expanding its MPLS footprint that supports the convergence of voice and data, as well as investing in network security products and advanced application features.

About WorldCom, Inc.
WorldCom, Inc. (WCOEQ, MCWEQ), which, together with its subsidiaries, currently conducts business under the MCI brand name, is a leading global communications provider, delivering innovative, cost-effective, advanced communications connectivity to businesses, governments and consumers.

CSX Transportation To Utilize MCI Satellite Services










MCI Expands Access Capabilities to Include Satellite Services in Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska and U.S. Territories

ASHBURN, Va., January 28, 2004 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today announced that it is providing CSX Technology, Inc., the technology subsidiary of CSX Corporation (NYSE: CSX), owner of the largest rail network in the eastern United States, satellite services at railroad remote operating locations across the eastern United States. In addition, MCI said it is expanding its broadband access services to include new broadband Satellite service options with higher bandwidth capabilities and international coverage.

By teaming with MCI, CSX is able to quickly deploy a common access solution virtually everywhere - in metropolitan, suburban and the most geographically remote areas of the U.S. CSX Transportation, which operates more than 23,000 miles of railroad track in more than 23 states and the District of Columbia, plans to utilize MCI`s satellite services to connect U.S. based railroad-switching stations that facilitate the transport of goods across the country.

"We needed a ubiquitous communications solution that was able to connect our remote locations back to the corporate network," said Tom Blady, assistant vice president, Communication Solutions, CSX Technology. "MCI`s broadband satellite services are helping us improve our business processes while enabling new capabilities. MCI was able to provide us with this specific technology solution as well as the critical customer service component we needed to deploy a new network solution."

By combining the universal access capabilities of satellite with the unrivaled reach and reliability of its global IP backbone, MCI is able to deliver a high performance access service where other connections, such as DSL, are limited or unavailable. In addition, satellite services do not have the same restrictions traditional broadband access solutions must overcome because there are no local exchange carriers involved and no "fiber to cut".

"Satellite allows business to extend access beyond the limited options of the local phone network to places where access has never been previously available," said Jim DeMerlis, MCI vice president of Product Management. "MCI`s satellite services can supplement and complement traditional access methods for companies like CSX who have widely-dispersed business operations."

With the addition of Tachyon Networks, Inc. services to MCI`s access service portfolio, MCI is now able to provide broadband satellite services in the continental United States, Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guatemala and Canada. In addition, MCI has extended its satellite services portfolio to include terrestrial back up services, quick deploy and customized service packages, with bandwidth capabilities up to 2Mbps and service level agreements.

SkyTel Launches FleetHawk Wireless Asset Management Tool








New Automated Vehicle Location Service Helps Businesses Track Vehicle Location and Information on the Web

ASHBURN, Va., February 3, 2004 - SkyTel, a pioneer in innovative wireless data solutions, today introduced FleetHawk, the first complete automated vehicle location (AVL) service backed by an experienced team of customer service professionals that helps businesses manage their vehicle fleets and other mobile assets. FleetHawk combines Global Positioning System (GPS) technology with SkyTel`s dedicated wireless data network and the ubiquitous reach of the Internet to capture location, speed and other vehicle information all through a secure, simple to use Web site.

"SkyTel is leveraging its highly-reliable wireless data network to address demand for an all-inclusive solution that helps companies maximize and protect their vehicle assets," said Kerry McKelvey, vice president and general manager of SkyTel. "FleetHawk is the first service to deliver the network, equipment and software that fleet managers need to make quick and efficient business decisions about how their assets are utilized, maintained and managed on a day-to-day basis. FleetHawk creates a new use for SkyTel`s dedicated wireless data network by providing machine-to-machine telemetry services."

FleetHawk immediately addresses growing demand for AVL services, which are expected to grow at an annual rate of more than 20 percent through 2006, according to C.J. Driscoll and Associates` 2003 publication of its U.S. Fleet AVL Market Study.

The new service is ideal for businesses with local metro fleets, including vehicle rental companies and passenger and courier service companies that want to improve productivity, lower operational costs and increase potential revenue.

Using a compact transceiver installed on each vehicle, FleetHawk receives and stores GPS information then uses the SkyTel wireless data network to send vehicle-specific information to a secure, simple-to-use Website where customers can view and take command of the data to make important business decisions.

"I like the web site. Its not a huge investment and I can access it all from my desktop," said Allen Fugate of Coach USA. "All of the technology is handled at SkyTel. I just log in, and I can see any of my buses at any given time."

By enabling fleet managers to track a vehicle`s location and speed at regular time intervals and be notified when a vehicle enters or exits a particular service area, FleetHawk customers can identify which vehicle is best suited to respond to a particular business opportunity based on proximity. Customers can choose and switch between the most convenient and expedient way to be alerted to specific vehicle information at any given time using a portable SkyTel 2Way-messaging device, a PC-based email account, cell phone or a personal digital assistant (PDA) with an email address.

Companies can use FleetHawk to collect and store historic information about a vehicle and its components to maintain and preserve the well being of their fleet assets. Using FleetHawk`s advanced reporting tools, customers can use this information to generate multiple reports in a variety of reporting formats, including spreadsheets or database programs. Since FleetHawk is delivered and managed end-to-end by SkyTel, companies also benefit from one bill and one number to call for customer service.

As a result, MCI`s MPLS-based service-Private Internet Protocol (IP)-has earned the Cisco Powered Network designation.

Already into the first stage of its network expansion, MCI is working with Cisco to accelerate its multi-phased, edge-router deployment in 48 countries throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pac to rapidly meet increasing customer demand for its MPLS-based services, with completion expected by year-end 2004. In the U.S. alone, MCI plans to extend its Private IP network two-fold. MCI customers will benefit from new Private IP services like IP multicasting and voice over (VoIP) that allow customers to further streamline network management, lower network costs and converge voice, video and data over a single network with near flawless performance.

"Working with Cisco, MCI has engineered a superior, scalable IP platform so our customers can realize the highest level of network performance, security and flexibility available-paving the way for new communications capabilities, like Web Services, that are changing how business is conducted," said Nancy Gofus, MCI senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "We`re expanding our MPLS network to help more companies to simply and quickly leverage the business advantages of IP."

The Cisco Powered Network program highlights service providers that deliver industry-leading services that enable advanced applications based on Cisco network equipment and technology. These services meet the highest industry standards for excellence in infrastructure, reliability, performance, scalability, security, and availability.

"This deployment represents increasing momentum in MCI`s already significant IP and MPLS capabilities for its network, enabling MCI to increase its service flexibility and portfolio breadth, to better address its customers` evolving needs," said Sameer Padhye, vice president of marketing, service provider, Cisco Systems. "With Cisco Powered Network designated services, MCI customers will know that its Private IP service meets the industry`s highest performance and technical standards such as the ability to deliver integrated voice, video and data services."

In an increasingly IP-driven world, Private IP offers businesses a simple and cost-effective transitional path from traditional data networks to a modern IP environment in which customers have the option of using their existing frame/ATM equipment. The MPLS foundation of MCI`s Private IP service helps businesses gain better control over their networks and enhance efficiency by leveraging the traffic and bandwidth management capabilities of MPLS. Private IP is ideal for companies that require the highest quality of service to carry converged voice, video and data over a secure private network, while providing access to the Internet and a secure means to connect remote users.

One company taking advantage of the performance, security and scalability of MCI`s Private IP service is Pizza Hut franchisee NPC International of Kansas City, Kansas. The company is using the service to securely link 800-plus pizza restaurants and call centers across the U.S. with the goal of delivering better and speedier customer service.

"In an industry where customer satisfaction is first on the menu, our IP network environment gives us the flexibility we need to communicate quickly and reliably," said Mike Woods, CIO, NPC International. "With MCI`s Private IP service, we can rapidly verify credit card transactions, monitor store performance real-time, and improve delivery service for our customers by interfacing our call centers with our restaurants on a real-time basis."

MCI is deploying the Cisco 10000 Series Router as its IP/MPLS Edge Label Switch Router for its Private IP service platform. The Cisco 10000 Series delivers consistent, high performance features combined with a wide spectrum of access technologies and interfaces for carriers deploying IP/MPLS services to both broadband and traditional fixed access customers.

Built upon proven high availability and innovative adaptive network processing technology, the Cisco 10000 Series enables an unprecedented range and scale of edge network services. It benefits customers by delivering secure, scalable service attributes including quality of service (QoS), and IP and MPLS multicast. These capabilities enable MCI customers to run multiple high-bandwidth data applications and high priority voice and video applications with minimized network performance degradation.

MCI Files for an Extension to Conclude Chapter 11 Process












Extension to Ensure Accuracy and Quality of Filings

ASHBURN, Va., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today announced it has filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for a 60-day extension, from the current February 28, 2004 deadline, to formally emerge from Chapter 11. The extension would give the company sufficient time to complete its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the last significant task to be completed before the company emerges. It would expand the time period for MCI to satisfy all conditions necessary to emerge from 120 days to 180 days, which is a common timeframe for large Chapter 11 cases. MCI would be able to file and emerge at any time during the 60-day extension period.

With the exception of completing its financial filings, MCI has satisfied all significant tasks required for its emergence, including obtaining all federal and state regulatory approvals. The Company has also secured approval from its creditors.

"We have made incredible progress on the reconstruction of our financial statements, but it is much more important for us to get them done correctly rather than quickly," said Bob Blakely, MCI executive vice president and chief financial officer. "Accounting and disclosure matters have been properly resolved and our 2002 10K is almost ready for filing. We are working diligently on 2003 and are in the process of auditing the results and preparing the filings. We will review all of our filings to ensure accuracy, quality and transparency."

"No one should underestimate the scope of the task and the tremendous progress we`ve made in completing the largest and one of the most complicated Chapter 11 proceedings in U.S. history," said Denny Beresford, chairman of MCI`s Audit Committee. "MCI`s Audit Committee has been actively engaged in the financial review process and we fully support the Company`s efforts."

"The Official Creditors Committee recognizes the magnitude of MCI`s financial reconstruction and supports the Company`s efforts to ensure quality reporting," said Irwin Gold, senior managing director and co-head of the restructuring group of Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin, financial advisors to the Official Committee of Creditors. "We`re looking forward to getting MCI`s emergence behind us and placing all of our focus on the Company`s operations going forward."

MCI Announces Industry`s First Major Deployment of Ultra-Long Haul Network Technology













New Infrastructure to Provide Foundation for Enhanced Service Delivery, Network Performance and Reliability

ASHBURN, Va., FEBRUARY 23, 2004 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today announced it is deploying a new Ultra Long Haul (ULH) Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) optical network, the industry`s first major deployment of its kind. The ULH network will enable MCI to incrementally set new standards for service delivery, performance, and reliability. This next-generation transport network will become the foundation by which all MCI services will be delivered. Today, MCI is carrying traffic on its first ULH network route deployment in the western U.S. and expects to complete its domestic network build-out over a three to five year period.

"As we continue to execute on our IP convergence vision, MCI`s Ultra Long Haul deployment signifies a strategic, long-term investment in the future of all IP communications," said Fred Briggs, president of MCI Operations & Technology. "We were the first to build a commercial global IP network, and now we will be the first communications company in the United States to deploy and activate the optical network of the future on a broad scale."

The ULH network will allow MCI to dramatically simplify its internal process of provisioning network capacity from months to weeks, resulting in better network optimization and utilization for the company. As a high-capacity all-optical network infrastructure, ULH is capable of supporting OC-768 core capacity with transmission speeds up to 40Gbps - four times faster than what has been deployed by service providers today. Through this implementation, MCI will be able to enhance its management of network inventory and be much more responsive to customer demand for bandwidth.

This rapid scalability sets the stage for MCI customers to seamlessly adopt bandwidth-intensive business applications like Web Services, multimedia content distribution, grid computing, real-time imaging and storage networking. The network will also create a platform for future infrastructure-based services such as protocol-independent wavelength services and other MCI Private Line service enhancements, which MCI plans to make available later this year.

"MCI has always engineered its network with an eye on the future," said Briggs, "By combining our current network infrastructure with next-generation ULH DWDM capabilities, MCI is uniquely positioned to efficiently manage internal costs in an increasingly competitive marketplace."

The ULH network will allow transmission systems to extend up to 2000 KM (up to four times longer than traditional technology) without expensive electronic regeneration equipment. This serves to streamline MCI`s U.S. network infrastructure by eliminating thousands of signal regenerators,dramatically reducing both the amount of equipment in the network, and the number of physical connections between network elements. This, in turn, results in a more cost effective, more manageable and more reliable network.

In addition, ULH technology will allow MCI to provision more capacity on each fiber than is possible today. This will enable the company to cost effectively reduce the amount of transmission equipment required to deliver network capacity. In doing so, MCI`s network will be greatly simplified by consolidating transmission bandwidth onto a common, reliable, all-optical network infrastructure. This optical network is designed for reliability by utilizing the time-proven protection of MCI`s ring architecture and will provide diverse traffic routing to ensure optimum network performance.

MCI`s ULH network will be supported by a new and innovative network management system enabling true end-to-end automation for accurate monitoring, provisioning and network management. Overall, with fewer elements and systems to monitor and maintain, ULH allows more efficient operations without compromising network reliability or security. This means MCI will be able to better meet its customer`s needs while reducing costs.

MCI has selected CIENA Corporation (NASDAQ: CIEN), and Siemens (NYSE: SI) as its vendors of choice for the ULH domestic deployment.

MCI Initiates Industry`s First Denial of Service (DoS) Performance Guarantee













New DoS Service Level Agreement to Help Companies Strengthen their Defense Against Internet Threats and Attacks

ASHBURN, Va., March 1, 2004 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today announced it has introduced the industry`s first Denial of Service (DoS) Service Level Agreement (SLA) to help Internet customers better thwart and defend against Internet threats and attacks. The new SLA ensures that all MCI Internet customers will have immediate access to MCI`s award-winning security staff to help them rapidly address and mitigate Internet attacks, providing the strongest network security protection available.

MCI`s DoS performance guarantee automatically extends its SLAs at no additional cost to customers. The new SLA is being applied across all MCI Internet Protocol (IP) services including dedicated and remote Internet access, IP VPN Dedicated and Remote, and Internet Colocation, Shared and single-server Dedicated Hosting.

"MCI`s experience operating IP networks along with its advanced network monitoring and management capabilities enable the Company to provide the strongest security defense for our customers," said Sara Santarelli, MCI vice president of network security. "Our new SLA gives customers greater peace of mind, knowing that MCI will help them stop Internet threats and attacks, while further demonstrating our commitment and ability to making the Internet a safer place for the greater Internet community."

MCI guarantees its response to suspected DoS attacks within 15 minutes of a customer-generated trouble ticket through MCI Customer Support. MCI`s Security team works hand-in-hand with customers to determine and implement the necessary steps to quickly mitigate the security threat. MCI is the first and only service provider to develop and initially utilize and implement a set of highly effective anti-DoS network tools and techniques, enabling its Security team to quickly trace and stop potential attacks.

One of the first companies to take advantage of MCI`s new SLA is Ask Jeeves, Inc®. As the Web`s second most popular search engine, Ask Jeeves receives more than 19.5 million unique users monthly and relies solely on its Internet presence to provide consumers with authoritative and fast ways to find relevant information to their everyday searches.

"MCI`s new DoS SLA is an enormous step forward for the entire industry," said Dayne Sampson, vice president of Information Technology for Ask Jeeves. "MCI has set the bar for other providers, as it commits to effectively responding to suspected DoS attacks within minutes of their start. As a company under daily attack, MCI represents a critical component in our Internet security defense-enabling Ask Jeeves to seamlessly conduct business 24 hours a day."

Recognized as a leader in the area of mitigating DoS attacks by the SANS Institute, MCI is the 2003 recipient of two key Information Security Leadership Awards in the Internet Service Provider (ISP) category. MCI received the Award for Leadership in Mitigating Denial of Service Attacks for its proactive efforts in developing new and aggressive techniques to identify and block Distributed Denial of Service attacks (DDOS) against its customers. MCI also received the Award for Leadership in Rapid Response to Worm Activity for its quick and decisive work in decoding and halting the CodeRed and SQLSlammer worms.

In addition to focusing on the protection of MCI`s networks, MCI works closely with U.S. government organizations and third-party security groups focused on the protection of the nation`s critical infrastructure. These organizations include: National Security and Telecommunications Advisory Counsel (NSTAC); FBI`s National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC); National Communications System; The System Administration, Networking and Security Institute (SANS Institute); and CERT® Coordination Center.

MCI Reacts To Triennial Review Ruling















BACKGROUND: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit today released its ruling on the Federal Communications Commission`s (FCC) "Triennial Review" local telephone competition order. This order established the framework under which competitors can access the Bell-controlled public phone network. MCI and other competitive local exchange carriers joined with the FCC in defending portions of the order that ensure consumer choice in the local telephone market.

The court sharply restricted the ability of MCI and other companies to offer local phone service to residential customers by denying competitors the right to lease the facilities still controlled by local Bell monopolies. Without access to those facilities, MCI and others simply cannot continue to offer lower prices and better residential services. The D.C. Circuit also denied competitors the ability to provide innovative broadband services on fiber facilities. If the Court’s opinion is not stayed, consumers will be impacted in as few as 60 days.

The following statement should be attributed to Stasia Kelly, MCI general counsel:

"Congress had envisioned that the Telecom Act would open local markets to competition and ensure that consumers have freedom of choice when it comes to local residential service. Yet, eight years later, local phone competition is still under attack.

"Eliminating the FCC`s local competition rules scraps the significant progress we have made to deliver consumers lower rates and innovative service. Three and a half million consumers have chosen MCI for local service over the Bells, and more than 19 million households now use a local phone provider other than the Bells. Additionally, local competition has spurred network investment and created tens of thousands of jobs.

"The D.C. Circuit`s decision leaves us with little choice but to seek an emergency stay and full review from the U.S. Supreme Court.

"It is imperative that the FCC continue the fight to preserve competition, by taking this case to the Supreme Court for a definitive decision. Millions of Americans will pay the price if the FCC does not act to protect their interests."

MCI Advantage Adds New VoIP Access And Calling Capabilities













Integration with Private IP Facilitates Multimedia over IP Adoption

New Relationship with BroadSoft Expands Hosted Communications Features

ASHBURN, Va., March 4, 2004 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today announced it has expanded its Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service, MCI Advantage, to immediately include access via the company`s fastest growing VPN service, Private IP. In addition, the company is working with BroadSoft, Inc. to provide extended hosted communications capabilities, delivering enhanced voice and data applications in a secure corporate network environment. These capabilities will enable businesses to increase employee productivity both in and out of the office.

"By integrating MCI Advantage with Private IP, we are helping companies achieve the immediate benefits of converged voice, data and video afforded by a flexible IP network environment," said Nancy Gofus, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for MCI. "Our relationship with BroadSoft will take VoIP one step further by eliminating costly PBX equipment and going beyond the realms of traditional voice systems by adding an array of new Web-based features."

With the domestic introduction of Private IP to the MCI Advantage product suite, companies that traditionally use frame relay and ATM networks can simply transition to IP and achieve more secure, converged voice, data and video communications among their employees. MCI`s Private IP delivers an ideal VPN environment for high bandwidth, high priority applications while enabling customers to achieve greater functionality and a higher return on investment from their current network operations and streamlined network management.

MCI`s recent Private IP network expansion provides companies with an advanced MPLS platform for converged communications. Private IP allows businesses to gain better control over their networks and enhance efficiency by leveraging the inherent security and traffic management capabilities of MPLS along with Quality of Service (QoS) to deliver an ideal environment for carrying time-sensitive applications like voice so it receives higher priority than data when traveling over a single network.

Available since 2001, MCI Advantage is the first network-based business VoIP solution designed to allow customers the ease and efficiency of one network for both voice and data services. By consolidating local, long distance and data services, MCI Advantage customers simplify billing; reduce equipment and management costs; and streamline day-to-day operations. In addition, MCI Advantage customers benefit today from new multimedia applications, such as voicemail that can be viewed as an email attachment or through a Web interface and unified messaging with find-me-follow-me services. MCI Advantage can be accessed via Private IP or MCI`s dedicated access IP services.

Through its relationship with BroadSoft, MCI plans to expand its commercial hosted IP Centrex capabilities, enabling MCI Advantage customers to experience the same reliability, quality and calling features they have come to expect from traditional business telephone services, with all the cost savings and multimedia applications that VoIP makes possible.

With the expansion of its hosted PBX and IP Centrex capabilities MCI can integrate new functionality, including call screening, simultaneous ring, auto attendant, third-party conferencing, and Web-based receptionist services. This enables MCI to offer large enterprise customers the voice features they demand in a consolidated package, while delivering cost-effective new communications capabilities to smaller organizations. MCI will begin customer trials of BroadSoft`s capabilities in April 2004.

In addition, MCI Advantage customers will be able to set up remote offices providing teleworkers with the same network access and functionality on the go that are standard in a typical office setting. MCI`s remote office capabilities will also enable customers to distinguish personal from business calls.

MCI Completes Restatement And 2002 Audit













Financial Filing Successfully Finalizes One of the Last Remaining Steps to Emerge from Chapter 11

ASHBURN, Va., March 12, 2004 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today announced it has filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The report contains the Company`s consolidated financial statements for 2002. In addition, the report contains financial statements for 2001 and 2000 that are restatements of previously reported financial results.

The restatement process included revalidation and correction of accounting records, review of the accounting for all major acquisitions dating back to 1993, reassessing the propriety and appropriateness of the application of accounting principles, and a re-audit of the financial statements. The restatements have no impact on the Company`s current operations or liquidity.

"This filing culminates the largest and most complex financial restatement ever undertaken," said Bob Blakely, MCI executive vice president and chief financial officer. "It is one of the last remaining milestones on our path to emerge from Chapter 11 protection. We appreciate the dedication and hard work of the MCI employees, as well as those at Deloitte & Touche, who participated in this process, and KPMG who audited the financials."

The restatement process resulted in adjustments to revenues, expenses and earnings as well as write-downs of assets and adjustments to liabilities. These adjustments and write-downs resulted in a cumulative net reduction of $74.4 billion to previously reported pre-tax income for 2000 and 2001.

"While these restatement adjustments are substantial they do not have any impact on our current substantial liquidity position," said Blakely. At the end of 2003, the Company`s consolidated cash and cash equivalents was approximately $6 billion. The largest category of restatement adjustments is impairment charges resulting from write-offs of goodwill and write-downs in the carrying value of other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment in 2000 and 2001. The impairment charges for 2000 and 2001 total $59.8 billion.

Other significant restatement adjustments are related to the Company`s review of significant acquisitions as far back as 1993. As part of this review, fair value allocations and purchase price calculations were re-performed. Restatement adjustments to correct errors in the application of purchase accounting for the acquisitions totaled $5.8 billion during 2000 and 2001.

The remaining restatement adjustments to 2000 and 2001 pre-tax income total $8.8 billion. Included in this amount are $4.8 billion of charges to pre-tax income to correct access costs that had been reduced either by the improper capitalization of the expenditures as additions to property, plant and equipment or by inappropriate reductions to accrual balances.

As restated, consolidated revenues were $32.2 billion in 2002, $37.7 billion in 2001, and $39.3 billion in 2000. These results include the revenues of Embratel, the Company`s Brazilian affiliate. The Company had a net loss of $9.2 billion in 2002, $15.6 billion in 2001, and $48.9 billion in 2000, including the restatement adjustments.

The Company is continuing work on its 2003 financial statements and expects to emerge from Chapter 11 protection in April 2004.

The restatement process and the resulting accounting adjustments are described in the Company`s 10-K report, available at http://www.mci.com/investor." target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.mci.com/investor.

MCI Enters Definitive Agreement To Sell Investment In Embratel To Telmex












ASHBURN, Va. and MEXICO CITY, March 15, 2004 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) and Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. (BMV: TELMEX; NYSE: TMX; NASDAQ: TFONY; LATIBEX: XTMXL) have entered into a definitive agreement to sell MCI`s investment in Embratel Participações (NYSE: EMT; BOVESPA: EBTP3, EBTP4) to Teléfonos de México (TELMEX) for $360 million in cash. Completion of the sale is subject to approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and Brazilian regulatory authorities with filings to antitrust and securities authorities. The TELMEX offer was approved by both the MCI Board of Directors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

The investment in Embratel is a 19.26 percent economic interest and a 51.79 percent voting interest. The sale of MCI`s investment in Embratel will have no impact on MCI`s customers in Brazil, whose service from Embratel will continue as usual.

"MCI will have an ongoing relationship with Embratel, enabling us to continue to provide our Brazilian customers with the highest quality services," said Jonathan Crane, MCI executive vice president and chief strategy officer. "Through Embratel, and ultimately, TELMEX, MCI will have the opportunity to deploy new technologies and services to more business customers in South America."

MCI Board Of Directors Elects Nicholas Katzenbach As Non-Executive Chairman; Michael Capellas Now President and CEO















Role of non-executive Chairman created as part of Company`s corporate governance reforms

ASHBURN, Va., March 16, 2004 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today announced its Board of Directors has elected former U.S. Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach as non-executive Chairman of the Board, effective upon MCI`s emergence from Chapter 11 protection. Katzenbach has been an MCI Board member since July 2002.

Concurrently, Michael Capellas, who has been MCI chairman and CEO since December 2002, will become MCI president and CEO. The separation of the chairman and CEO roles is part of MCI`s corporate governance reforms.

"Nick has been an invaluable asset to our Board and is the perfect choice to help guide MCI as chairman," said Capellas. "He not only brings the highest level of integrity and breadth of experience to the role, but he has a deep commitment to our customers, employees and the investment community."

Mr. Katzenbach previously served as Attorney General of the United States (1964-66), Under Secretary of State for the United States (1966-69), and as Senior Vice President and General Counsel of IBM Corporation (1969-86).

As the company prepares to emerge from Chapter 11 protection in April 2004, it also announced the following organizational changes:

Wayne Huyard, president of U.S. Sales and Service
Cindy Andreotti, president of Enterprise Markets
Jonathan Crane, president of International and Wholesale Markets
These seasoned MCI executives join Bob Blakely, EVP and CFO; Stasia Kelly, EVP and general counsel; Nancy Higgins, EVP and chief ethics officer; Fred Briggs, president of Operations & Technology; Dan Casaccia, EVP of Human Resources; and Grace Trent, SVP of Communications and chief of staff, in reporting to Capellas.

As a result of these organizational changes, Rick Roscitt, president and chief operating officer, has elected to leave the Company to pursue other opportunities.

"As we prepare to emerge from Chapter 11 we have simplified our organizational structure to better serve the marketplace," said Capellas. "Over the past year we have significantly strengthened our Board of Directors and management team while continuing to focus on delivering innovation, industry-leading service and value to our customers."

MCI Ranks #1 For Best Online Customer Experience











--International Research Firm Finds MCI Leads Telecom Industry For Second Consecutive Time--

ASHBURN, Va., March 25, 2004 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ) today announced it received the number one ranking for delivering the best overall online customer experience in the U.S. telecom and networking industry, according to The Customer Respect Group`s Spring 2004 Online Customer Respect Study. In addition to outperforming the largest telecommunications and networking companies for the second time in a row, MCI received high marks for its ease of navigation, customer focus, open and honest policies, and responsiveness.

The Customer Respect Group, an independent international research and consulting firm that focuses on how corporations treat their customers online, ranked MCI first with a 9.0 Customer Respect Index (CRI). Touted by The Customer Respect Group as the only study to bring objective measure to the analysis of corporate performance from an online customer`s perspective, the Firm assigns a CRI to each company on a scale of zero to 10 (with 10 being the highest), measuring the customer`s online experience when interacting with companies via the Internet.

"MCI offers a highly navigable customer-focused site that provides open and honest privacy policies," said Roger Fairchild, president of The Customer Respect Group. "Moreover, we found that MCI responded quickly and thoroughly to our online inquiries. We commend MCI for its continued emphasis on providing a high-quality online experience for its customers."

"Creating the best customer experience was the top priority for us in the development of our Web site," said Ron McMurtrie, MCI vice president of Marketing. "This recognition from The Customer Respect Group is further validation that MCI is delivering premier service and communication through the Web."

As part of its comprehensive research, The Customer Respect Study also found that:

MCI outperformed all 40 telecom and networking firms evaluated, which rank among the country`s largest 1000 companies. The industry average CRI score was 7.0.
MCI received high marks for Responsiveness-routinely responding within 24 hours and, most often, within the same business day.
Overall, the telecom/networking sector received the highest average score among the five industries studied to date in 2004.

MCI`s Web site, www.mci.com, focuses on providing a wide range of information to MCI business and residential customers and other key stakeholders. At www.mci.com, customers can manage their accounts online, get answers to customer service questions, download white papers, and find in-depth information on MCI`s progress, products and services, and more. The site highlights a menu of interactive features and breaking news updates.

The twice-yearly Customer Respect Survey was developed and conducted by The Customer Respect Group to provide objective analysis of corporate performance from an online customer`s perspective. By interviewing a representative sample of the adult population, and by analyzing more than 1000 Web sites across a spectrum of industries in detail, The Customer Respect Group has determined the attributes that combine to create the entire online customer experience. These attributes have been grouped together and measured as indicators of Simplicity (ease of navigation), Privacy (respects customer privacy), Attitude (customer-focus of site), Transparency (open and honest policies), Responsiveness (quick and thorough responses to inquiries) and Principles (values and respects customer data). Combined they measure a company`s overall Customer Respect.

About The Customer Respect Group
The Customer Respect Group is an international research and consulting firm that uses its Customer Respect Index (CRI(TM)) methodology to help companies improve how they treat their customers online. It provides leadership in the objective and scientific measurement of a customer`s online experience. Many of the largest U.S. companies have already adopted the CRI methodology to improve online customer satisfaction and loyalty. The Customer Respect Group is headquartered in Bellevue, WA.

MCI Statement on Workforce Reduction Plans









Background: MCI today announced that it is reducing its workforce by approximately 4,000 employees as part of its ongoing cost reduction program. The majority of this reduction comes from closing three consumer call centers and reducing staffing in three others, in large part due to the effects of "Do Not Call" telemarketing laws. MCI announced earlier this year that it expects to reduce costs by 15 to 20 percent.

The centers being closed are located in Denver; CO; Phoenix, AZ; and Niles, OH. Staffing is being reduced at MCI facilities in Alpharetta, GA; Colorado Springs, CO; and Springfield, MO.

The following statement can be attributed to MCI:

"As a result of the impact of federal and state `Do Not Call` laws, as well as ongoing telecom market trends, we need to take this action in order to improve our overall cost structure. These actions will in no way impact our ability to serve our customers."

Willkommen zur neuesten Ausgabe von 360°, dem elektronischen Newsletter von MCI. Dieser Newsletter wird Sie über die neuesten Entwicklungen in der Telekommunikationsbranche im Allgemeinen und bei MCI im Besonderen auf dem Laufenden halten. Durch Klicken auf eine der unten angeführten Überschriften gelangen Sie zur Volltextversion des jeweiligen Artikels.












01.
Neues Wachstum in Sicht

Die jüngsten Anzeichen sprechen für einen globalen, wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung - auch wenn dieser sich nur langsam vollzieht. Positive Veränderungen zeigen sich ebenfalls in der Telekommunikations-Industrie. Vielleicht ist der vor kurzem abgewickelte Verkauf der US Unternehmensteile von Cable & Wireless der Vorbote einer positiveren Stimmung. Analysten hatten nicht damit gerechnet, dass das Unternehmen in der Lage sein würde, die unrentablen Unternehmensteile ohne beträchtliche Verluste abzustoßen.






02.
MCI DSL - ein erweitertes Produkt-Angebot für die Konnektivität Ihres Unternehmen

Wenn es um die zuverlässige Konnektivität im Unternehmen geht, haben Sie mit der Einführung der leistungsfähigen DSL-Dienste von MCI nun eine noch größere Auswahl. Unsere DSL-Dienste stehen mittlerweile in Deutschland, den Niederlanden, Großbritannien und in Frankreich zur Verfügung. Sie bieten unseren Kunden in diesen Ländern umfangreiche Vorteile und erweitern das Portfolio der von MCI angebotenen Zugangs-Dienste. Diese Produkt-Einführung ist nur der erste Schritt unserer umfassenden Strategie, ein vielfältiges Spektrum von DSL-Diensten in Europa anzubieten.






03.
Fokus auf EMEA

Im letzten Jahr konnten wir Andy MacLeod als unseren neuen Managing Director bei MCI EMEA begrüssen. Dieser Region gilt der besondere Fokus von MCI; und deshalb erfordert die Steuerung der vielfältigen Aktivitäten des Vertriebs, des Marketing sowie des operativen Geschäfts ein hohes Maß an Erfahrung und Engagement - und Andy MacLeod verfügt über beides. In seiner bisherigen beruflichen Laufbahn musste er schon mehrfach komplexe Aufgabenstellungen lösen. Vor seinem Wechsel zu MCI war er bei Cable & Wireless in unterschiedlichen Positionen tätig, bevor er zuletzt als Chief Operating Officer für das weltweite operative Geschäft des Unternehmens verantwortlich war.






04.
Internet Dial Select - eine neue Lösung für optimiertes Account Management

MCI EMEA hat im Dezember 2003 Internet Dial Select eingeführt. Dieser neue Internet Dial-up Service mit Remote-Zugang für mehrere Anwender kann als Basis für ein Do-It-Yourself (DIY) IP VPN verwendet werden.






05.
MCI erweitert das weltweite MPLS-Netzwerk

Die Ankündigung des Ausbaus unseres Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Netzwerks ist für MCI und all unsere Kunden für das Jahr 2004 und darüber hinaus von großer Bedeutung. Mit den für dieses Jahr geplanten neuen Knotenpunkten in EMEA, im asiatisch-pazifischen Raum und in den USA macht der Ausbau deutlich, dass Private-IP (MPLS Service von MCI) und das EMEA-Geschäft im Zentrum der Zukunftsstrategie von MCI stehen.






06.
Bewertung der "Total Cost of Ownership" (TCO)

Die Vorteile des Outsourcing sind nicht zu unterschätzen. In vielen Unternehmen lässt sich heutzutage der zunehmende Trend beobachten, alle Investitionsentscheidungen auf ihre Wirtschaftlichkeit hin zu prüfen. Dies gilt vor allem in so komplexen Bereichen wie der Netzwerk-Technologien. Und genau hier kann MCI weiterhelfen.






07.
Umfrage zur Kundenzufriedenheit

Im vergangenen Jahr fand eine Umfrage zur Kundenzufriedenheit in 14 europäischen Ländern statt. Den Kunden wurde im Rahmen von zehn Key Performance Indicators (KPI) eine Reihe von Fragen zum Grad ihrer Zufriedenheit mit MCI gestellt. Die Kunden sollten diese Indikatoren in einer persönlichen Prioritätenliste ordnen. Es ergab sich die folgende Reihenfolge: Netzwerk, Post Sales Support, Provisionierung von Services, Nutzen für das Unternehmen, Account Management, Angebote, Rechnungstellung, MCI Mitarbeiter, Kundenkommunikation und allgemeine Zusammenarbeit mit MCI.

MCI Teams With Aventail To Extend Managed Remote Access IP VPN Suite














New Secure Socket Layer (SSL) VPN Solution to Enable Anywhere, Anyplace Secure Access to Corporate Resources

ASHBURN, Va., April 6, 2004 - MCI (WCOEQ, MCWEQ), and Aventail Corporation the leading SSL VPN product company, today announced they have joined forces to deliver best-of-breed SSL Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network (IP VPN) capabilities to businesses worldwide. Further extending MCI`s leading global VPN portfolio, the new fully managed remote access service offers greater flexibility and enhanced security for organizations that want to more simply and cost effectively connect customers, partners and mobile workforces to their corporate networks.

Available immediately to U.S.-based companies with domestic and/or international users, MCI is integrating Aventail`s award-winning SSL VPN technology into its new managed remote VPN solution to enable users to connect to corporate resources from anywhere, using any computing device. Now remote workers and business partners can simply use any Web browser from any PC or computing device, such as an airport kiosk, to securely access information stored on a corporate network.

"MCI`s agreement with Aventail allows our customers to tap into an alternate, yet complementary VPN technology that delivers industry-leading security and access control, "said Jim DeMerlis, MCI vice president of data and IP solutions. "We are seeing a growing trend among VPN customers to extend network privileges beyond their immediate corporate boundaries, so we are delivering a secure solution that is easy to implement internally and externally across multiple types of users."

With MCI`s new SSL remote access VPN solution, businesses can designate and control access at the application layer-to eliminate expensive direct network connections-and support a broad set of individual access requirements and authentication methods. Because MCI`s solution is `clientless` no client software needs to be installed on a PC or computing device when accessing Web-based information over the Internet, effectively reducing the administration costs to configure, manage and support VPN users. Additionally, MCI`s offering enables users to access client/server applications over the Internet with a Java applet client, running seamlessly in the background.

"This partnership brings together two powerhouses to deliver the necessary access required by today`s enterprises," said Zeus Kerravala, vice president of enterprise infrastructure for the Yankee Group. "Through its partnership with Aventail, MCI can now fully extend remote access, securely, to PDAs, kiosks, home PCs, and laptops to boost productivity and broaden accessibility to applications and information for both employees and third-parties."

MCI`s new SSL offering is unique in that it is integrated with the company`s complete desktop remote access platform, Access Manager and its Remote Access Service administrator platform Enterprise Services Management (ESM). This provides IT administrators with a number of conveniences including simple password administration, the ability to centrally manage access policies and quickly move, add or change end users. In addition, customers have access to tools, software and detailed Web-based reporting that provides insight into individual online usage patterns among other metrics. Engineered to be highly redundant, the SSL service is backed by stringent service level agreements.

"Aventail`s expertise in SSL technology is a perfect extension to MCI`s industry-leading VPN product set," said Evan Kaplan, president and CEO of Aventail. "As MCI continues to expand its VPN customer base and VPN portfolio and more companies open their networks to employees, external trading partners and suppliers, SSL will play an important role enabling truly secure inter-business communications."

MCI offers the industry`s most extensive suite of managed VPN and global data networking solutions that are a part of the full continuum of integrated communication products and services the company provides to enterprises of all sizes around the world.

MCI Signs Amended Embratel Sale Agreement with TELMEX












ASHBURN, Va., April 21, 2004 - MCI Inc. (MCIAV.PK) today announced that it has signed an amended agreement with Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. (NYSE: TMX; NASDAQ: TFONY) for the sale of MCI`s equity stake in Brazilian telecommunications provider Embratel Participações (NYSE: EMT). The new agreement, which has been approved by the MCI Board of Directors, increases the cash purchase price to be paid by Teléfonos de México (TELMEX) to $400 million from $360 million and establishes a $12.2 million transaction termination fee.

The amended agreement also provides for a $50 million up-front payment to MCI by TELMEX - which would be retained by MCI if the proposed transaction cannot be consummated because of the inability to obtain regulatory approvals.

MCI has filed the amended sale contract with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York and has requested a hearing to approve the termination fee on April 26, 2004. If the termination fee is not approved by the Court, TELMEX will have the option of reducing the purchase price to $360 million.

The Bankruptcy Court hearing for approval of the sale to TELMEX is scheduled for April 27, 2004.

MCI Updates 2004 Earnings Guidance






ASHBURN, Va., April 29, 2004 - MCI, Inc. (MCIAV.PK) today updated earnings guidance for 2004 following the filing of its 2003 Form 10K. Changes in guidance reflect the application of Fresh Start accounting, the anticipated sale of the Company`s interest in Embratel Participacoes S.A., and continuing competitive industry fundamentals.

MCI expects to generate revenue in 2004 at the lower end of previous guidance of $21 billion to $22 billion. In 2003, the Company reported revenue of $27.3 billion, which included $3.0 billion from Embratel. The Company announced in March 2004 its plans to sell its Embratel interest and, accordingly, will classify Embratel as a discontinued operation in the second quarter of 2004. Projections for 2004 discussed in this release exclude the operations of Embratel.

MCI expects revenue from its global, high-end enterprise and government markets businesses to decline approximately 7 percent versus 2003, outperforming the overall Business Markets segment, which remains exposed to a challenging wholesale pricing environment. Overall Business Markets revenue is expected to decline 12 percent to 14 percent compared to 2003 revenue of $14.1 billion.

International revenue is expected to decline 2 percent in 2004, reflecting stable volumes in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (EMEA), new entries into emerging markets and an assumed favorable effect of foreign currency exchange. In 2003, International revenue (excluding Embratel) was $3.9 billion. MCI continues to operate the largest facilities-based network, with the highest number of Company-owned points-of-presence of any international carrier.

The Company continues to expect Mass Markets revenue to decline 20 percent to 25 percent, reflecting the negative impact of Do Not Call legislation, increasing wireless substitution and ongoing pricing pressure. To offset these challenges, Mass Markets will continue to focus on U.S. local services and expects to launch a voice-over Internet protocol (VOIP) initiative this year. In 2003, Mass Markets revenue was $6.4 billion.

"Our solid enterprise customer base, industry-leading IP strengths and ability to serve businesses globally positions us as a strong competitor in a fast-changing market," said Bob Blakely, MCI executive vice president and chief financial officer. "We believe our strong balance sheet and positive cash flow will allow us to weather the difficult environment that prevails in the telecommunications industry today."

Operating income before depreciation, amortization and expenses associated with the early retirement of assets is estimated at $2.1 billion to $2.3 billion in 2004, compared to $3.0 billion in 2003, exclusive of Embratel, which contributed $552 million in 2003. The reduction reflects margin compression driven by continued pricing pressure and the anticipated unfavorable effect of regulatory changes on access costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to decline 8 percent to 10 percent in 2004.

Depreciation and amortization expense will increase sharply to approximately $2.2 billion in 2004 from $1.7 billion contemplated in previous guidance, reflecting the adoption of Fresh Start accounting. In 2003, MCI recognized depreciation and amortization expense of $2.6 billion. The Company also anticipates that it will incur approximately $150 million to $200 million of non-cash expense related to the early retirement of assets.

MCI expects to incur net interest expense of $415 million to $425 million in 2004.

MCI estimated that costs associated with its reorganization will be approximately $100 million in 2004. Other non-operating costs are estimated at $50 million to $65 million. MCI projects a tax rate of approximately 39 percent for 2004.

Although aggressive cost reductions and network consolidation initiatives are expected to return the Company to profitability in the second half of 2004, MCI currently expects to generate a net loss for the full year.

The Company`s cash position remains strong. On its December 31, 2003 balance sheet, the Company reported cash and equivalents of $6.2 billion, or $5.6 billion exclusive of Embratel. Of this total, approximately $2 billion will be disbursed to fulfill emergence claims. In 2004, cash flows provided by operating activities plus proceeds from the sale of non-core assets less capital expenditures is expected to exceed $800 million. The $2 billion expected to be disbursed for emergence claims is not included in the estimate of cash flows provided by operating activities.

According to the assumptions included in the Company`s plan of reorganization, MCI will issue approximately 326 million shares to meet reorganization claims.

Capital Expenditures
MCI has invested $38 billion in its network during the last six years, placing it in a strong position to benefit from the industry`s move toward IP. Today, MCI`s IP network can connect customers to more places, more directly than any other IP network in the world. Continuing to invest for the future remains a high priority, and the Company expects 2004 capital expenditures to equal approximately 5 percent of revenue. MCI is expanding its MPLS footprint that supports the convergence of voice and data, as well as investing in network security products and advanced applications features.

Fresh Start Accounting
On April 20, 2004 the Company emerged from bankruptcy. MCI implemented Fresh Start accounting to its financial statements effective December 31, 2003, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Accordingly, the company adjusted its balance sheet to a new basis of accounting. The most important mechanics of this process include adjusting assets values, liabilities and shareholders` equity for the effects of the Company`s plan of reorganization.

This process also impacted the 2003 income statement and resulted in a $22.1 billion gain on the line item "Reorganization Items, net." This gain is composed primarily of the discharge of debt obligations, offset partially by the amounts of new debt and stock issued to settle the claims of creditors, as well as other reorganization items.

First Quarter Results
MCI plans to release first quarter operating results on May 10, 2004.

MCI Bridges Private and Public Networks to Help Customers Securely Tap into IP






--Businesses now can easily extend Frame, Private IP and IP VPN data networks to leverage new capabilities, gain greater functionality and optimize network costs--

NEW YORK CITY, MPLSCon, May 26, 2004- As part of its Convergence Networking strategy, MCI, Inc. (MCIA.PK) today announced it has brought together its private data and public Internet Protocol (IP) networks to deliver a new model for building customer networks. With the deployment of its VPN Network Gateway, MCI uniquely affords businesses significant advancements in networking, including an easy and simple migration path to IP, private and public network sites that seamlessly interoperate and the ability to select connectivity on a location-by-location basis.

Representing the second phase of the company`s Secure Interworking Gateway (SIG) strategy, MCI`s new platform gives businesses a new means to derive more life and functionality from their existing Frame, Private IP and IP VPN networks while significantly reducing the costs associated with deploying next-generation networks. Immediately available, these new capabilities are offered to domestic and U.S.-based multinationals.

"Our goal is to make IP easily accessible to all businesses," said Nancy Gofus, MCI senior vice president of Product Management. "With MCI`s new gateway capabilities, we are offering customers that and much more. Whether a business is moving from traditional services to IP or has already made that move, our Interworking platform lets customers transparently extend their IP environment at their own path and pace."

MCI`s new VPN Network Gateway enables the company to build and/or re-architect customer networks to deliver the best overall performance and value by using a hybrid mix of technologies that can transparently co-exist with IP. This allows companies to use multiple technologies for dedicated connections and local loop access on a site-by-site basis resulting in greater efficiency, access to the Internet and enhanced network functionality.

One of the first to benefit from MCI`s Interworking deployment is Conestoga-Rovers & Associates, a family of companies providing comprehensive engineering, environmental consulting, construction, and information technology (IT) services. The professional services company was able to re-architect its 20-site frame relay network to better manage its traffic which had become congested. By moving some of its sites to an IP VPN connection, the company will be able to increase bandwidth at these sites while giving employees always-on access to the Internet.

"MCI`s VPN Network Gateway will provide improved performance at lower cost, allowing for our staff to be better connected and able to service our clients," said Ian Richardson, vice president, Conestoga-Rovers & Associates.

MCI`s new gateway was designed and developed to provide vast scalability, global reach and resiliency and is ideal for any size business. Enabling enterprises to transition to new technology with ease, customers do not need to buy or lease additional hardware. As a network-based solution, MCI owns, manages, monitors and updates the secure gateway deployed within its own infrastructure and ensures seamless delivery of customer traffic from origination to destination. By outsourcing this function to MCI, customers can instead focus more on their core business.

In keeping with MCI`s emphasis on simplicity and value, pricing for this new option is based solely on the bandwidth required for the interconnection between the customer`s networks. MCI plans to roll out this service in Europe and Asia Pacific later this year.

Announced in 2003, MCI`s SIG strategy is enabling the company to roll-out new services and capabilities by leveraging the interoperability and intelligence within its network. Last June, the company marked the first phase of SIG with the launch of its IP VPN Remote - Network based service. The third phase of MCI`s Secure Interworking Gateway will be available later this year and will provide network-based firewalling capabilities, strengthening MCI`s network-based security options for enterprise customers.

MCI`s Data and VPN Portfolio
MCI offers the most extensive suite of managed VPN and data networking services to meet every customer`s need and management preference-from traditional private line, frame relay and ATM networks to advanced VPN solutions-all backed by the highest performance guarantees. This approach enables customers to maximize internal resources while enhancing their business continuity efforts and increasing their return on investment. Each solution runs over MCI`s award-winning global IP and facilities-based data networks and is a part of the full continuum of integrated communication products and services MCI provides to enterprises of all sizes around the world.

MCI and Qwest Reach Commercial Agreement for Wholesale Services













First Commercially Negotiated Wholesale Agreement Between ILEC and Major CLEC

ASHBURN, VA, and DENVER, May 31, 2004 - MCI, Inc. (MCIA.PK) and Qwest Communications International Inc. (NYSE: Q) today announced a landmark agreement on wholesale pricing and services that provides both carriers with certainty and stability at a time when the regulatory landscape is changing. The agreement marks the first time that an incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) and a major competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) have reached a commercially negotiated pact for local network access.

The MCI-Qwest agreement -- reached after five weeks of mediated negotiations between the carriers -- comes less than 90 days after the D.C. Circuit Court issued a decision vacating Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wholesale pricing rules. Today`s agreement provides for both wholesale pricing continuity for MCI and a guarantee that such services will continue to be available.

"This is a historic day for our industry. Qwest and MCI proved that two companies, that are direct competitors, can embrace the principals of a free-market economy and reach a commercial services agreement that will allow them, together, to serve customers well," said Richard C. Notebaert, Qwest chairman and chief executive officer. "While this agreement was forged without any regulatory assistance, we would like to thank FCC Chairman Michael Powell, for his continued support and encouragement to identify a solution to this complex industry issue."

"It has been MCI`s position that good faith commercial negotiations can result in agreements that reflect the changing industry landscape and avoid complex regulatory proceedings and litigation," said Michael D. Capellas, president and chief executive officer of MCI. "This agreement proves that a negotiated outcome is not only possible, but mutually beneficial."

Good Faith Negotiations

Both companies expressed their commitment to good faith negotiations early in the process. In an April 1, 2004, letter to the FCC, MCI`s Capellas endorsed carrier-to-carrier negotiations and the concept of a suitable mediator, as long as negotiations were conducted openly and transparently. On April 15, 2004, Qwest invited all of its wholesale customers to participate in mediated negotiations, and, together with MCI, jointly hosted industry negotiations. At that time, Qwest was the only ILEC to agree to mediated, as well as group, negotiations.

The companies worked together closely to select a mutually acceptable mediator, with both agreeing on Cheryl Parrino, former chairman of the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin and president of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners. MCI has participated in both mediated group forums and one-on-one mediated negotiations with Qwest. This deal is a product of those negotiations.

"The mediation process worked well because MCI and Qwest came to the negotiations with a desire to find a solution that would work for both parties," said Parrino. "I was very impressed both with the desire of the participants to understand and address each others` business needs and their ability to find creative solutions to some of the most difficult issues."

The agreement, which is unique within the industry, maintains existing prices through December 31, 2004; creates a reasonable transition period through January 2007; provides for incremental price adjustments at scheduled points within the transition period; and eases MCI`s transition to facilities-based service offerings.

To better reflect market conditions, the deal includes a residential and business price split which addresses the unique market needs of these very different customers and results in a smaller rate increase for CLECs that serve residential customers in Qwest`s territory. Additionally, rates are geographically sensitive. In total, rates for Qwest`s "Qwest Platform Plus" (QPP) -- which will replace the unbundled network element (UNE) platform that MCI currently buys under regulatory rules -- will increase an average of less than $5 - including both residential and business customers -- by the end of the transition period. Certain non-recurring charges that MCI incurs to move its customers to its own facilities will decrease.

The agreement includes Qwest DSL services, as well as other services not previously available with a combined wholesale service, providing MCI with the opportunity to access new features and functionality at a discount - specifically, Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) services and Qwest Voice Messaging services.

Provisions aimed at enabling MCI to transition customers to its own facilities include mutually agreed upon pricing for batch hot cuts -- the process through which multiple customer lines are moved from a Qwest switch to a competitor`s switch. The batch hot cut prices may be discounted based on the total number of lines in service. The deal also includes new electronic scheduling and online status tools to make the batch hot cut process more efficient and cost effective for both parties. Additionally, the agreement includes commercial-quality-assurance measures to ensure MCI continues to receive the highest-quality wholesale service.

MCI Launches Wireless IP-Relay Communication Service










New Nationwide Service Provides Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Community Freedom to Communicate On-the-Go

Ashburn, Va., June 2, 2004 - MCI, Inc., (MCIA.PK) today announced the first nationwide Wireless IP-RELAY communication service, making it possible for the deaf and hard-of-hearing to communicate with others using a wireless data device. This new service turns a wireless data device into a "cell phone" for the deaf and hard-of-hearing and provides users the ability to communicate "on-the-go" to anyone, anytime, anywhere in the U.S., rather than being limited to placing relay calls from a computer.

"We`re a society on the move and most of us take for granted the ability to communicate with others while walking down the street, sitting in an airport or out shopping," said Steve Johnson, vice president of MCI Information Services and Data Solutions. "With our new wireless IP-Relay service, we are eliminating the boundaries for hearing impaired individuals to communicate in a mobile environment."

In a matter of minutes, users can download the necessary software from an applications menu on their wireless handheld device, making it possible for the device to place relay calls. Once enabled, users simply click on the Wireless IP-RELAY icon and are connected with a Relay Operator. Callers simply type what they want to say on the wireless device and the operator facilitates the call. The service also features keyboard shortcuts, font size and style options plus the ability to make sequential calls.

There is currently no charge to use the Wireless IP-RELAY service to call anywhere in the United States. However, the normal connectivity rates charged by the user`s wireless carrier still apply.

Wireless IP-RELAY, which was beta-tested earlier this year and given hands-on testing by students at leading universities for the deaf, is receiving high marks from the deaf and hard-of-hearing community.

MCI is currently working with a number of wireless device manufacturers and providers to further expand the service to ensure all deaf and hard-of-hearing persons have access to wireless relay service. As new wireless devices that support Wireless IP-RELAY become available, MCI will update its website at www.IP-RELAY.com.

About IP-RELAY.com
IP-RELAY.com, powered by MCI, is the one-stop site for every relay calling need. Deaf and hard-of-hearing persons can sign their conversations via IP-RELAY VRS, receive calls from voice users via IP-RELAY Voice/NexTalk, communicate with any voice user through IP-RELAY Text in addition to a host of other communication options. MCI was the first company to offer IP-based relay service and is committed to providing the most convenient, confidential and technologically advanced ways to keep people connected.

MCI Reacts to Solicitor General Decision on Stay









BACKGROUND: The Solicitor General today declined to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to stay a lower court decision overturning the FCC`s "Triennial Review" local competition rules.

The following statement should be attributed to Stasia Kelly, MCI Executive Vice President and General Counsel:

"MCI is disappointed that the Solicitor General declined to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to stay a lower court decision overturning the FCC`s Triennial Review local competition rules. If the FCC`s rules are allowed to lapse and wholesale rates rise MCI may be forced to raise prices in some markets and pull out of others.

Nationwide, more than 19 million consumers have already switched their residential phone service from the monopoly Bell to a competitive provider, including more than 3.5 million who have chosen MCI`s all-distance service, The Neighborhood. The Administration`s decision will clearly disrupt the marketplace. Without competition, consumers will soon find themselves with higher rates, lower quality of service and less innovation."

IFS AB Renews And Expands Global Internet Service Agreement with MCI










MCI to Support IFS` Growing Adoption of IP-Based Services Across Europe, Asia and the Americas

STOCKHOLM, 7 June 2004 - MCI (MCIA.PK) today announced that IFS AB (XSSE: IFS), a leading international provider of Web- and portal-based manufacturing, supply chain, customer relationship, financial, engineering, maintenance and human resource management applications, has chosen to extend and expand its global Internet access services agreement with MCI.

After successfully delivering a reliable and cost-effective multinational Internet access solution to IFS locations in Europe, Asia, Latin America and the U.S. for the last two years, IFS is again turning to MCI to support its Information Solution (IS) department`s internal infrastructure consolidation program, which is aimed at migrating additional services to IP.

"MCI continues to deliver top-class performance and constant network availability with unparalleled worldwide reach," says Goran Tennby, network manager of IFS World Operation.

The IFS IS department coordinates all the company`s IT infrastructure and IS-related services on a global basis through operations on three continents. As a result, one of IFS` primary requirements is a single point of contact with its communications provider with responsibility for global provisioning and support of its Internet connections around the world.

"We are very satisfied with the quality of customer service that MCI provides to IFS," said Tennby, "so it was a natural decision to extend and broaden the contract to meet our expanding communications network requirements."

IFS uses MCI Internet Dedicated services for its fixed Internet connections to the IFS offices which provide the benefits of security, reliability and the high performance of MCI`s global backbone network to the customer. IFS utilises the MCI IP backbone for an IP VPN solution that allows IFS to quickly expand its network as communications demand grows.

"IFS` decision to expand its contract with MCI underlines our strong commitment to customer service and client satisfaction," said Ake Florestedt, country leader for MCI in Sweden. "This is yet another example of how MCI`s global reach, combined with the expertise of our local sales organisations, creates benefits for our customers that others in our industry cannot match."

MCI, CIENA and Mintera Demonstrate World`s First Ultra Long-Haul Optical Transport Connection at 40 Gigabits Per Second






Successful Trial Demonstrates "Plug and Play" capability of 40 Gbps wavelengths within MCI`s ULH Production Network

ASHBURN, Va.; LINTHICUM, Md; LOWELL, Ma. - JUNE 15, 2004 - In an unprecedented joint industry effort, MCI, Inc. (MCIA.PK), CIENA® Corporation (NASDAQ: CIEN) and Mintera Corporation today announced they have achieved the world`s fastest Ultra Long-Haul (ULH) connection at 40 Gigabits Per Second (Gbps) - four times faster than the highest-speed ULH routes deployed today. Utilizing an MCI long-haul network route spanning more than 1200 km, the technology trial highlights how the MCI network can seamlessly activate 40 Gbps ULH wavelengths to facilitate the roll-out of next-generation IP-based services over its existing 10 Gbps backbone.

The technology trial took place over MCI`s ULH Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) optical network route between Sacramento, CA and Salt Lake City, UT. This network route was selected because it uses the company`s existing fiber plant, and includes a mix of fiber - TrueWave Classic, Dispersion Shifted Fiber (DSF), Long Span Fiber (LS) and Single Mode Fiber (SMF), illustrating the real-world scalability of the MCI network. Mintera`s production quality MI 40000 40 Gbps DWDM fiber optic transport terminals interoperated directly on CIENA`s CoreStreamTM Agility optical transport system, which provides an automated ULH backbone for the MCI network. MCI demonstrated true "plug and play" capability of 40 Gbps transmission with the ULH system. The 40 Gbps wavelength was commissioned in less than an hour, and then performed error-free on the same optical fibers already carrying 10 Gbps wavelengths throughout the trial.

"MCI continues to build on its legacy of innovation with this important industry achievement," said Jack Wimmer MCI vice president of Network Architecture and Advanced Technology. "Only a few weeks ago, MCI became the first network carrier to demonstrate live 40 Gbps IP networking between our locations in San Francisco and San Jose. Today, we are the first to extend the reach of 40 Gbps wavelengths over our Ultra Long-Haul backbone network." In February, MCI became the first network provider to deploy an Ultra Long-Haul network route in the United States.

Once implemented, MCI`s Ultra Long-Haul 40 Gbps solution will allow customers to obtain near real-time bandwidth upgrades and accelerated installation schedules to facilitate the adoption of next-generation IP services.

"This joint technology trial confirms the viability of 40 Gbps technology over our Ultra Long-Haul network and sets the stage for MCI customers to easily migrate to bandwidth-intensive business applications like Web Services, multimedia content distribution, grid computing, and storage networking," said Wimmer.

This ULH solution allows MCI to place the 40 Gbps equipment at both ends of the ULH network route and literally plug in the equipment and turn up customers - known in the industry as "plug and play." No longer will customers have to wait months for a complete network build to receive bandwidth-intensive next generation services.

Mintera`s optical transport equipment enables carriers like MCI to deploy 40 Gbps wavelengths, without traffic interruption, on their 10 Gbps infrastructure. This permits significantly more bandwidth to be obtained from the existing infrastructure investment with low, incremental capital expenditures for added capacity. The ultra long reach of the MI 40000 permits this boost in bandwidth efficiency to be implemented at the lowest cost without additional regeneration sites and without the need to re-engineer or alter the existing infrastructure.

"We are privileged to have participated in this demonstration of the next generation of optical transport with MCI and CIENA," said Dr. Terry Unter, Mintera president and chief executive officer. "The MI 40000, with its variety of client side interfaces, will allow service providers such as MCI to gain a significant bandwidth boost from their installed infrastructure thus delaying capital investments in equipping new dark fibers and, at the same time, permitting the deployment of new, bandwidth intensive services."

MCI`s recently announced ULH network buildout utilizes CIENA`s CoreStream Agility, which will enable MCI to converge its legacy networks to deliver all types of customer traffic - from voice to IP - on a single, automated, 40G-ready network. CoreStream Agility`s scalability and integrated ULH and wavelength switching capabilities eliminate costly electrical signal regenerations and automate the remote provisioning of wavelengths, creating a seamless path to flexible and efficient services up to 40 Gbps across the country.

"MCI has built its network on the most advanced and scalable technology available, and we`re proud to help enable MCI to maintain its networking leadership position," said Steve Alexander, chief technology officer and general manager of CIENA`s Core Networking Group. "To us, it`s all about helping MCI deliver the high-value services their customers want, and together, we`re working to enable a new generation of bandwidth-intensive services delivered with optimal efficiency."

[Tschakka]

Bekomme heut von meiner SPK das Angebot der ausländischen Depotbank zur kostenfreien, wertlosen Ausbuchung der Worldcom-Stücke.

Hat einer ne Ahnung, was das soll? Sinnvoll oder nicht?

[Alsacien]

@Tschakka
`Sinnvoll oder nicht?`
Auf keinen Fall sinnvoll, denn eine wertlose Ausbuchung bedeutet, daß Du auf alle weiteren Ansprüche, die sich ggf. nach Beendigung der noch ausstehenden Verfahren gegen WorldCom ergeben könnten, verzichtest. Bedenken solltest Du auch, daß Du nach einer `wertlosen Ausbuchung` des Aktienbestandes den Verlust steuerlich nicht geltend machen kannst (die letzte Möglichkeit, die Aktien zu verkaufen, war der 23.04.2004). An Deiner Stelle würde ich die Aktien behalten und abwarten.

@alle
Moin zusammen,
vor einigen Monaten habe ich im board die Mitteilung gelesen, dass Altbesitzer von Worldcom-Aktien einen Sonderbetrag aus der Konkursmasse erhalten.
Kennt jemand diese Mitteilung? Ab wann muss man die Aktien besitzen? Denn wenn es wirklich so wäre, wäre die angebotene Ausbuchung unklug.
Danke und Gruss

MCI Launches Next-Generation Ethernet Capabilities Nationwide









New Services, Expanded Footprint Meet Growing Enterprise Demand for High-Performance, High Availability Networks

ASHBURN, Va., July 20, 2004 - MCI (NASDAQ:MCIP) today introduced its next-generation Ethernet capabilities, offering businesses an economical and flexible way to extend their local area networks to become IP-ready wide area networks. With its newly-expanded suite of Ethernet services and nationwide footprint, MCI delivers uniform carrier-grade solutions that simply enable IP applications, like streaming media and distance learning, as well as LAN-to-LAN communications.

MCI`s new Ethernet suite includes new U.S. Private Line Ethernet Services, expanded Internet Dedicated Ethernet Service coverage from five to 25 markets across the U.S. and enhanced Metro Private Line Ethernet Service with higher speeds and additional features. Available On-net via MCI`s fiber-lit buildings and Off-net in select locations, MCI`s Ethernet services offer businesses quick and easy access to additional bandwidth, Internet connectivity and the ability to rapidly transfer and share increasingly larger files like graphics.

"MCI continues to advance its data networking solutions to keep pace with the changing face of technology and business," said Nancy Gofus, MCI senior vice president, Product Management. "MCI`s new Ethernet capabilities and expanded coverage will enable companies to effectively extend their local area networks beyond the metropolitan coverage area to build next generation IP-based wide area networks simply and cost-effectively."

Delivering on the company`s Converged Packet Access strategy announced today, MCI is offering secure, end-to-end Ethernet solutions over a private infrastructure that will support new business applications, like storage, to handle the growing volume of corporate data. MCI`s new Ethernet data services are ideal for companies in the financial, healthcare and education industries, especially those required to meet new industry regulations for data replication and archiving, and the support of new online applications. For example, Ethernet-based services are well suited to hospitals that need to share medical imaging between physician offices or for graphics companies that transfer gigabyte-sized files from design centers to printing locations.

DoubleClick Inc., the leading provider of solutions for advertising agencies, marketers and Web publishers, has found Ethernet to offer numerous advantages in support of its Internet infrastructure. Today, DoubleClick uses MCI`s Metro Ethernet Network to connect to MCI`s Premium Data Centers, where DoubleClick`s servers are securely housed and directly connected to MCI`s global IP network. DoubleClick also uses MCI`s Internet Dedicated Ethernet Service to provide high-speed connections to Web servers located in a separate data center to ensure its content is always up and available. MCI`s Ethernet solution enables DoubleClick to deliver quick and reliable content downloads.

"With our high-performance Internet infrastructure, DoubleClick provides consistent quality results for our customers," said Greg Tagaris, DoubleClick VP of Global Technology Operations. "And now with MCI`s new Ethernet capabilities, DoubleClick will be able to easily evolve our Internet platform to accommodate the continuing growth of our business."

"MCI is one of very few providers that offer a robust Ethernet product set nationally," said Brian Washburn, senior analyst with research firm Current Analysis. "Ethernet as a telecom service is gaining hold in the U.S., and MCI is in a good position to capitalize on business demand with both metro and long-haul Ethernet services that reach across its expansive network footprint."

For the first time, MCI is offering long distance Private Line Ethernet Services in the U.S. Beginning in August, MCI U.S. Private Line customers can connect their business locations using Ethernet on a nationwide basis to increase bandwidth and lower costs, without sacrificing network quality and performance. Using an Ethernet over SONET infrastructure, MCI will provide carrier-grade service reliability backed by 100 percent availability and a two-hour Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) service level agreement (SLA) for On-net services.

MCI`s Metro Private Line Ethernet Service provides a dedicated, highly reliable point-to-point service between locations within the same LATA through a standard, high speed Ethernet interface, while supported by a 100 percent network availability SLA for On-net services. Beginning in August, this service will be available in additional speeds of 10 Mbps, 40 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps. This fall, MCI will add Fibre Channel, FICON and ESCON Storage capabilities to this offering.

Expanding from five to 25 markets in September, MCI`s Internet Dedicated Ethernet Service delivers access to the Internet at bandwidth levels ranging from 1 Mbps to 600 Mbps with 1 Gbps available upon request. This fall, this solution will be available with MCI`s fully managed IP VPN Dedicated offering to provide secure connectivity to businesses through high-availability, high-speed links.

MCI also offers Ethernet service in EMEA and Asia Pacific that reflect regional differences in service delivery, including availability in the U.K., France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and Korea. MCI has plans to offer International Private Line Ethernet Services to EMEA and Asia Pacific before the end of 2004.

MCI VoIP Solution Leads Industry in Meeting 9-1-1 Requirements









-- MCI Advantage Delivers Caller Phone Number and Location to Correct 9-1-1 Agency For More Than Two Years --

-- Company Working with National Emergency Number Association to Develop Life-Saving 9-1-1 Services for Mobile VoIP Users --

ASHBURN, Va., August 3, 2004 -- MCI (NASDAQ: MCIP) today announced that MCI Advantage is one of the industry`s first Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solutions to support 9-1-1 capabilities at fixed locations. In addition, the company has teamed with the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) and regional emergency communication organizations to develop and implement long-term solutions for 9-1-1 services to support mobile users.

"We are able to offer MCI Advantage customers, who order service for fixed locations, the same benefits they would expect from their traditional phone service," said Nancy Gofus, MCI senior vice president of Product Management. "As a pioneer, developing and delivering VoIP services to market, MCI proactively invested in the equipment and resources to support true 9-1-1 service to protect our customer`s safety."

While most VoIP services offer a "9-1-1 like" solution, MCI has provided "true 9 1 1," or E9 1 1, capabilities by utilizing the existing 9-1-1 network to route calls to the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) since 2001. This allows the VoIP caller`s location and phone number to be automatically displayed in front of the 9-1-1 call taker so emergency assistance can be dispatched to a location even if the caller cannot communicate. In addition, it ensures that 9-1-1 calls are routed to the local emergency response teams for the area where the call was placed.

"It is our goal to have all the 9-1-1 calls utilize the E9 1 1 systems," said Roger Hixson, National Emergency Number Association (NENA) Technical Issues Director. "If the public is able to make a telephone call from a broadband VoIP `telephone service,` they should be able to reach 9-1-1 services in an emergency. MCI`s deployment of its VoIP service is proof that true 9-1-1 services, including location identification, can be provided today for customers at fixed locations."

The "9-1-1 like service" provided by others in the VoIP industry compromises a customer`s ability to access emergency services via 9-1-1 because calls route to an agency`s 10-digit telephone number that may not be answered at the same priority as a 9-1-1 call. In addition, the caller`s telephone number and location may not be displayed and if a caller is unable to respond or does not know their current location information, emergency response could be delayed or worse, fail to respond.

"Having important information, such as caller`s location, display automatically is invaluable when it comes to responding to an emergency situation where every second counts," said Richard Atkins, Assistant Director, Tarrant County 9-1-1 District in Fort Worth, Texas. "There is nothing more distressing than knowing someone is in need of assistance and not being able to locate them because their information is not made available to emergency operators."

MCI fully supports an administrative approach to maintain funding of 9-1-1 resources at a level equivalent to those generated by current or evolving funding processes. MCI is remitting 9-1-1 service fees in accordance with local 9-1-1 requirements. Available since 2001, MCI Advantage utilizes MCI`s voice, DSL and IP footprint and expertise with the industry`s leading technologies, to offer customers the first nationwide, business-grade, converged VoIP solution. MCI Advantage changes the way customers do business, by driving increased employee productivity, simplifying the way telecommunications products and services are bought and managed, scaling easily as a company grows and positioning customers for future services.

2Q04 Segment Results (For the 6-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003)

Ashburn, Va., August 5, 2004 - MCI, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCIP) today reported its operating results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 (second quarter).

Revenues in the second quarter were $5.2 billion, a decline of 4 percent sequentially and 15 percent from the same period last year.

MCI`s sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $1.3 billion in the second quarter, an improvement of 18 percent sequentially and 17 percent versus second quarter 2003. The Company realized operating income of $41 million versus a $265 million loss in first quarter 2004 and operating income of $324 million in second quarter 2003. Reported operating income also included depreciation and amortization of $569 million in second quarter 2004.

MCI`s net loss for the period was $71 million or ($0.22) per share versus a net loss of $388 million or ($1.19) per share in first quarter 2004 and net income of $8 million in second quarter 2003.

"We did what we said we would do. By executing against our business plan, we produced second quarter results that reflect solid, measurable progress and significant financial improvements," said Michael D. Capellas, MCI president and chief executive officer. "To remain competitive we will continue to drive operational improvements, deliver unparalleled customer service and introduce new IP-based products and services to the marketplace."

The results of Embratel, a Brazilian affiliate, were classified as discontinued operations in the second quarter and, therefore, are excluded from continuing operations. MCI reached an agreement in March to sell its 19 percent stake in Embratel for $400 million to Telmex, $50 million of which was received prior to June 30, 2004. The sale was completed on July 23, 2004 and the Company received the remaining balance of $350 million.

With these results the Company has initiated segment reporting by its three business segments. These are:

Enterprise Markets, which incorporates its largest global corporate and government customers, MCI Solutions and Conferencing;
U.S. Sales and Service, which incorporates national accounts, and small and medium businesses that comprise its Commercial business, as well as its Mass Markets business; and
International and Wholesale, two separate businesses utilizing its voice telecommunications, data services, Internet and managed network services.
Liquidity

On March 31, 2004, MCI`s cash and cash equivalents totaled $5.9 billion, excluding Embratel. During the second quarter the Company paid approximately $1 billion of bankruptcy claims. On June 30, 2004, cash and cash equivalents totaled $5.4 billion excluding Embratel, which has been classified as an asset held for sale.

Total debt of $6 billion included approximately $295 million of capitalized leases. MCI issued $5.7 billion of Senior Notes on April 20, 2004, which have not yet been rated by credit rating agencies. The Company has initiated discussions with the rating agencies and presently expects the process to be completed by the end of 2004.

On May 19, 2004, MCI announced that its Board of Directors had initiated a study of the Company`s liquidity requirements with a view toward identifying any excess cash as defined in Section 5.07 of the Plan of Reorganization. Today the Board declared excess cash of $2.2 billion and initiated a return of capital in the form of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share. The first dividend will be paid September 15, 2004 to shareholders of record on September 1, 2004.

Pressemitteilung vom 10.08.2004

Chance für Worldcom-Anleger

Der US-amerikanische Bankkonzern Citigroup hat im Mai 2004 einem Vergleich zugestimmt, der Worldcom-Aktionären und –Anleihebesitzern insgesamt 2,65 Milliarden US-Dollar bringen wird. Das ist die zweithöchste Summe, die je im Rahmen einer US-Sammelklage („class action“) ausgehandelt wurde. Jetzt liegt das Formular vor, mit dem die Anleger ihre Ansprüche anmelden können.

Das Geld wird unter allen Anlegern aufgeteilt, die ihre Papiere in der Zeit vom 29. April 1999 bis zum 25. Juni 2002 („class period“) gekauft haben und ihre Ansprüche rechtzeitig geltend machen. Unabhängig davon, ob sie selbst an der Klage beteiligt waren oder nicht. Angemeldet werden die Ansprüche mit dem so genannten „proof-of-claim-and-release-Formular“, das ab heute bei der Deutschen Schutzvereinigung für Wertpapierbesitz (DSW) unter der Telefonnummer 0211/6697-02 kostenlos angefordert werden kann. „Alle Anleger, die während der class period Worldcom-Papiere erworben haben, sollten diese Chance unbedingt nutzen“, sagt DSW-Hauptgeschäftsführer Ulrich Hocker.

Der Citigroup war vorgeworfen worden, noch zum Kauf von Worldcom-Aktien geraten zu haben, als in der Bank die desolate Lage des Telekomunternehmens bereits bekannt war. Worldcom war aufgrund massiver Falschbuchungen in Höhe von rund 11 Milliarden US-Dollar in eine dramatische Schieflage geraten.

Die DSW bietet für Mitglieder eine deutsche Ausfüllanleitung. Könnte jemand diese Anleitung hier reinstellen. Danke.

MCI Reacts To European Court Ruling













ASHBURN, Va., September 28, 2004 - The European Court of First Instance in Luxembourg today overturned a June 28, 2000 decision by the European Commission that blocked the company, then known as WorldCom, from merging with Sprint. The decision has been in the appeals process for the past four years. The Court ruled that the European Commission`s (EC) decision was procedurally defective, removing it as a legal precedent.

The following statement should be attributed to Stasia Kelly, executive vice president and general counsel of MCI:

"Four years ago, we argued that the global Internet environment was rapidly changing and that no competitor could exercise sole market power. Time has proven those arguments to be true."

"Today`s favorable ruling will ensure that future technology services transactions will receive a fair and appropriate review. And while the companies elected to pursue separate strategies after the European Commission`s initial reaction in 2000, we believed a decision that so misperceived the highly-competitive nature of the Internet marketplace should not be allowed to stand and affect future transactions in this highly-dynamic industry."

MCI: Weitere Banken einigen sich mit ehemaligen WorldCom-Aktionären








Wie ein Rechnungsprüfer des US-Bundesstaates New York am Mittwoch bekannt gab, haben vier ausländische Banken im Rahmen eines Vergleichs mit den Aktionären der ehemaligen WorldCom Inc. der Zahlung von insgesamt 428,4 Mio. Dollar zugestimmt. In einer Sammelklage werfen die Aktionäre der heutigen MCI Inc. den Kreditinstituten vor, auf Risiken, die später zum Zusammenbruch der zweitgrößten US-Telefongesellschaft für Fernverbindungen geführt haben, nicht hingewiesen zu haben.

Demnach teilte der Rechnungsprüfer Alan Hevesi mit, dass die ABN AMRO Inc., die US-Tochter der niederländischen ABN AMRO Holding N.V., 278,4 Mio. Dollar zahlen wird. Die Mitsubishi Securities International plc, die britische Sparte der japanischen Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group Inc. (MTFG), wird 75 Mio. Dollar zahlen, während die BNP Paribas Securities Corp, die US-Sparte der französischen BNP Paribas S.A., und die Mizuho International plc, die britische Sparte der japanischen Mizuho Financial Group Inc., jeweils eine Zahlung von 37,5 Mio. Dollar leisten werden.

Die Bank of America Corp., die drittgrößte Bankgesellschaft in den USA, teilte vor einer Woche mit, dass sie 460,5 Mio. Dollar zahlen wird, um sich mit den ehemaligen WorldCom-Aktionären zu einigen. Im Vergleich zur Bank of America hat die Citigroup Inc., die größte Bank in den USA, im vergangenen Jahr 2,58 Mrd. Dollar im Rahmen eines Vergleichs gezahlt.

Vergangene Woche gab zudem die Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. bekannt, dass sie sich mit einer Zahlung von 62,7 Mio. Dollar einigen wird, während die Credit Suisse Group Inc., die Goldman Sachs Group Inc. und die UBS AG die ehemaligen WorldCom-Aktionäre jeweils mit rund 12,5 Mio. Dollar abfinden werden.

Zu weiteren Banken, die in der Sammelklage der WorldCom-Investoren involviert sind und sich noch nicht geeinigt haben, zählen die J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. und die Deutsche Bank AG.

Der WorldCom-Konzern hatte im Juli 2002 Gläubigerschutz nach Chapter 11 beantragt. Im vergangenen Jahr konnte der Konzern als MCI Inc. aus dem Gläubigerschutz austreten und ist derzeit Gegenstand einer Übernahmeschlacht zwischen den Telefongesellschaften Verizon und West.

Die Aktie von MCI schloss gestern an der NASDAQ bei 23,64 Dollar (-0,38 Prozent). Die Aktie von ABN AMRO Holding notiert in Amsterdam derzeit bei 20,59 Euro (-0,72 Prozent), die von BNP Paribas in Paris bei 55,30 Euro (+0,09 Prozent). Die Anteilsscheine der MTFG und der Mizuho Financial Group beendeten den Handel in Tokio heute bei 955.000 Yen (-0,72 Prozent) bzw. 522.000 Yen (-1,32 Prozent).

US-Sammelklagen: Auch deutsche Anleger können profitieren


von Marc Tüngler, DSW-Landesgeschäftsführer NRW



(in Sachen WORLDCOM finden Sie hier weitere Informationen und Formulare)



Die Regelungen zum Schutz der Privatanleger im deutschen Kapitalanlage- und Aktienrecht sind bekanntlich unzureichend. Insbesondere die Möglichkeit, Schadenersatzansprüche gegen pflichtwidrig handelnde oder fehlerhaft informierende Vorstände durchzusetzen, ist in Deutschland heute faktisch nicht gegeben. Erst durch die Umsetzung des 10-Punkte-Plans der Bundesregierung soll dieser Missstand aufgehoben werden.



Blickt man in die USA, so bieten sich dem Anleger weitreichendere gesetzliche Grundlagen und zudem die Möglichkeit einer kollektiven Anspruchsstellung. Grundlage der meisten schadensersatzrechtlichen Verfahren in den USA ist § 10 (b) des Securities Exchange Act (SEA). Dieser sieht vor, dass marktrelevante Tatsachen nicht vorsätzlich oder fahrlässig unrichtig und unvollständig dargestellt werden dürfen. Wurde gegen diese Vorschrift verstoßen, haben die Anleger die Möglichkeit, in einer Gemeinschaft ihre Vermögensschäden ersetzt zu verlangen.



Die Vorteile derartiger Sammelverfahren sind vielschichtig.



Neben dem Kostenvorteil ist vorgesehen, dass das jeweilige Unternehmen gezwungen werden kann, alle Dokumente vorzulegen, die mit dem Rechtsstreit in Zusammenhang stehen. Es bedarf also nicht einzelner Beweisanträge, wie dies im deutschen Zivilprozessrecht der Fall ist. Daher werden viele Verfahren durch einen vorzeitigen Vergleich beendet.

Eine der wesentlichsten Vorteile für die betroffenen Anleger ist, dass diese nicht zwingend notwendig selbst als Kläger auftreten müssen, um in den Genuss etwaiger Schadenersatzzahlung zu gelangen. Wird ein Vergleich geschlossen oder ein Urteil verkündet, so haben auch die nicht bis dahin nicht aktiven Anleger die Möglichkeit, ihre Ansprüche befriedigt zu erlangen. Notwendig ist dann allein, dass die geschädigten Aktionäre ihre Ansprüche ähnlich dem deutschen Insolvenzrecht anmelden.



Besonders zu betonen gilt, dass die betroffenen Anleger kein Kostenrisiko zu tragen haben. Dieser Umstand beruht darauf, dass im Gegensatz zu der deutschen Regelung US-amerikanische Anwälte ein Erfolgshonorar verlangen und dieses von der im Vergleich oder im Urteil festgesetzten Schadenersatzsumme vor Verteilung abgezogen wird.



Für die deutschen Anleger besteht regelmäßig die Schwierigkeit, von derartigen Sammelverfahren oder von deren Ausgang Kenntnis zu erlangen. Der Anleger ist gehalten, sich die entsprechenden Informationen selbst zu beschaffen. Dies ist möglich über die Homepage der betroffenen Aktiengesellschaft. Diese ist nach dem US-Recht verpflichtet, über die sie betreffenden Sammelverfahren zu berichten.



Zudem ist die DSW betroffenen Anlegern behilflich bei dem Erhalt und Ausfüllen der in englisch gehaltenen Anmeldeformulare. DSW-Mitglieder erhalten diese nebst einer in deutsch verfassten Ausfüllanleitung bei der Düsseldorfer Zentrale oder per Emailanfrage hier.



Zusätzlich haben wir für Sie einen Info-Service eingerichtet. Dieser bezieht sich auf laufende Sammelklagen. Liegen uns Anmeldeformulare in den aufgeführten, derzeit noch nicht entschiedenen Verfahren vor, werden wir Sie umgehend informieren.

Meine Bestätigungspostkarte von der Garden City Group ist heute gekommen. Habe das Formular alleine ausgefüllt - ohne DSW und ohne Ebay - und schon größte Bedenken weil ich solange nichts gehört habe. Nach 4 Wochen hätte man ja wegen der ausbleibenden Postkarte nachfragen sollen, aber es scheint ja noch alles in bester Ordnung zu sein.

Pressemitteilung vom 6. Juli 2005

Gute Nachrichten für Worldcom-Geschädigte


Jetzt sind 6,1 Milliarden Dollar im Topf. Die zuständigen US-Richter haben entschieden, dass die 14 Vergleiche, die in erster Linie Banken im Zuge der Worldcom-Pleite mit geprellten Anlegern geschlossen hatten, zu einem einzigen Verfahren zusammengefasst werden. „Das sind sehr gute Nachrichten für die geprellten Investoren. Der Aufwand sinkt dramatisch. Statt 14 Anträge stellen zu müssen, reicht jetzt einer. Zudem eröffnet dies allen, die bisher noch nicht aktiv geworden sind, die Chance, ihren Teil der 2,65 Milliarden Dollar zu bekommen, die die US-Großbank Citigroup zahlen muss", kommentiert der Hauptgeschäftsführer der DSW (Deutsche Schutzvereinigung für Wertpapierbesitz), Ulrich Hocker, die Entscheidung.

Ansprüche auf Schadenersatz aus dem Citigroup-Vergleich konnten eigentlich nur bis zum 22. März geltend gemacht werden. Jetzt ist für den gesamten 6,1-Milliarden-Dollar-Topf der 26. August 2005 maßgeblich. „Wer bereits einen Antrag in Sachen Citigroup-Verfahren gestellt hat, muss nicht mehr aktiv werden", erklärt DSW-Experte Marc Tüngler.

Ebenfalls verlängert wurde die Anmeldefrist für Ansprüche auf die 750 Millionen Dollar, die das Unternehmen MCI, Rechtsnachfolger von Worldcom, nach einer Einigung mit der New Yorker Börsenaufsicht SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) an die Betroffenen zahlt. Galt bisher der 19. Juli als Schlussdatum, haben die Anleger jetzt Zeit bis zum 19. August.

Anspruch auf das Geld haben in beiden Fällen ausnahmslos alle Anleger, die ihre Worldcom-Papiere in der Zeit vom 29. April 1999 bis zum 25. Juni 2002 gekauft haben. Die für die Anmeldung notwendigen „proof-of-claim-and-release-Formulare" können von der Internetseite der DSW (www.dsw-info.de) unter dem Menüpunkt „Anlegerschutz" kostenlos herunter geladen werden. „Wer kein Internet hat, kann die Unterlagen unter 0211/6697-01 natürlich auch telefonisch anfordern", sagt Tüngler.

DJ Ehemeliger Worldcom-CEO Ebbers zu 25 Jahren Haft verurteilt
Ehemeliger Worldcom-CEO Ebbers zu 25 Jahren Haft verurteilt

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Bernard J. Ebbers, ehemaliger CEO der Worldcom Inc, ist
am Mittwoch von einer New Yorker Distriktrichterin zu einer Haftstrafe von 25
Jahren verurteilt worden. Für die Zeit nach seiner Entlassung wurde eine
weitere dreijährige Überwachung für den heute 63-Jährigen
angeordnet. Bereits im März hatte eine Jury den Manager des Betrugs im
Zusammenhang mit dem Bilanzskandal für schuldig befunden. Worldcom hatte
nach Bekannntwerden der Bilanzfälschung Insolvenz anmelden müssen.
Beobachter erwarten, dass Ebbers gegen seine Verurteilung in Berufung geht.

In der laufenden Woche hatte der ehemalige CEO bereits den Großteil
seines Vermögens abgegeben, um eine Sammelklage gegen ihn im Zusammenhang
mit dem Bilanzskandal beizulegen.

Aktuelles in Sachen WorldCom



von Marc Tüngler, DSW-Landesgeschäftsführer NRW





ACHTUNG: Sofern Sie eine Korrekturaufforderung des Administrators erhalten, beachten Sie die 30-Tage-Frist zur Einreichung der fehlenden Unterlagen





Derzeit besteht weder im Rahmen des Sammelklageverfahrens noch im Rahmen des VictimTrust-Verfahrens die Möglichkeit, Ansprüche anzumelden. Eine Anspruchsanmeldung war zuletzt bis spätestens zum 12. September 2005 eröffnet.

Nachträglich einen Antrag bei den Administratoren einzureichen, ist nach unseren Erfahrungen wenig sinnvoll. Ob zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt die Möglichkeit einer Anspruchsanmeldung wieder eröffnet sein wird, ist eher unwahrscheinlich.



Aktuell registrieren und prüfen die Administratoren im Sammelklageverfahren und auch im VictimTrust-Verfahren die Vollständigkeit und Richtigkeit der von den Antragstellern übermittelten Anträge.



Wurden beim Ausfüllen Fehler gemacht oder sind die verlangten Angaben nicht vollständig eingetragen, erhalten Sie in den nächsten Wochen auf dem Postweg eine Aufforderung des Administrators zur Ergänzung oder Korrektur Ihrer Angaben. Sofern Sie ein solches Schreiben des Administrators erhalten, überprüfen Sie bitte genau, welche konkreten Angaben der Administrator von Ihnen verlangt.

Die Schreiben der Administratoren sind üblicherweise so aufgebaut, dass auf der ersten Seite mittels Ziffern dargestellt wird, welche Angaben in Ihrem Antrag fehlen oder aber nicht nachvollziehbar sind. Die jeweiligen Kennziffern werden im Anhang dann erläutert.



Hinweis:

Eine sehr häufige Fehlerquelle ergibt sich im steuerlichen Bereich. So müssen Sie nachweisen, dass Sie kein Bürger der Vereinigten Staaten sind und auch nicht dort residieren. Sofern Sie unserer Aufforderung gefolgt sind und eine Kopie Ihres Personalausweises Ihrem Antrag beigefügt haben, sollten diesbezüglich keine Probleme auftauchen. Vielfach wurde jedoch die Beilage einer Kopie des Personalausweises vergessen oder diese Voraussetzung war nicht bekannt. In diesem Falle werden Sie aufgefordert, Ihre Sozialversicherungsnummer, EIN oder ein so genanntes W-8BEN Formular für „nicht US-Bürger“ an den Administrator zu senden.



Von den drei angeführten Varianten erscheint uns die Sendung eines W-8BEN Formulars am geeignetsten. Dieses Formular finden Sie bitte unter auf dieser Seite zum Download eingestellt. Das Formular ist sehr einfach aufgebaut. Letztendlich müssen Sie allein Ihre persönlichen Daten dort eintragen und nochmals mit Ihrer Unterschrift bestätigen, dass Sie nicht Bürger der USA sind.



Für DSW-Mitglieder und Personen, die unsere Services im Rahmen des Worldcom-Verfahrens in Anspruch genommen haben, halten wir bei Bedarf eine Ausfüllanleitung für das W-8BEN Formular bereit. Diese Anleitung können die vorbenannten Personengruppen hier anfordern.
