Mar 17, 2003 : WorldCom Continues with 100-Day Plan

📅 March 17, 2003 - Bankrupt communications carrier WorldCom Inc. (worldcom.com) announced on Monday that it continues to deliver on its 100-day plan, announced earlier, highlighting two important milestones for the company's two flagship products, MCI's The Neighborhood and The WorldCom Connection.

WorldCom says The Neighborhood is now available in all 48 contiguous states, as well as Washington, DC, making MCI the first nationwide local phone company. The WorldCom Connection is now available in all 94 metropolitan service areas where WorldCom has owned local service facilities, allowing more business customers to employ converged local, long distance and data services.
The Neighborhood, says WorldCom, was launched in April 2002 in 32 states, reaching more than 50 million households. Less than one year later, the service is available in 48 states and reaches more than 78 million households.
The addition of more than 50 new metropolitan service areas (MSAs) to the WorldCom Connection, says the company, enables WorldCom to offer its complete service in all 94 MSAs where the company operates local facilities.
"The WorldCom Connection is one of the most compelling business service offerings to date," said Jonathan Crane, executive vice president of WorldCom Strategy and Marketing. "Our expanded service platform enables more businesses to simply consolidate all their communications needs over a single network solution, allowing them to better manage their networks, reduce costs and take advantage of new multimedia applications."
