| MCI WorldCom Inc. will cast off its legacy voice and data transport roots and reinvent itself as a provider of value-added services aimed at businesses that want a full menu of e-commerce and converged voice and data offerings.
As part of that strategy, the carrier unveiled five new service sets and also said it would roll out a managed voice-over-IP service to business customers next month.
“The world is moving to an increasingly connected age,” said MCI WorldCom CEO Bernard Ebbers. “WorldCom is no longer satisfied with just providing traditional data centers. This is a fundamental shift in this company in where we will deploy our resources.”. |
