History and Business of Company (this information may include date of incorporation)
WorldCom Inc.-WorldCom Group Common Stock (WCOM), an increasingly global facilities-based communications company, is the second largest U.S. long-distance carrier. In November 2000, the company announced plans to split its public shares into two tracking stocks. The higher growth WorldCom group will include data services, Internet services, commercial voice service and international operations. The more mature MCI group will include long-distance voice communications, consumer local communications, wireless messaging/paging, and dial-up Internet access. A distribution of tracking shares is expected in the summer of 2001. The WorldCom group accounted for 58% of total revenue in 2000, and for 62% of net income. At the end of 2000, the unit boasted 56,500 route miles of networks covering metropolitan centers, and an additional 10,150 route miles of local connections to customers worldwide. WorldCom's communications infrastructure now connects 123 cities across North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia. In addition, the unit has a 51.79% voting interest (19.26% economic interest) in Embratel, Brazil's facilities based national and international communications provider. The company believes in an on-net strategy that seeks to provide worldwide communications services over directly owned facilities. The on-net approach is intended to increase service reliability and reduce operating costs. Two important growth drivers for the WorldCom group are web hosting and virtual private networks. In September 2000, WCOM agreed to an acquisition that would give it a controlling interest in Digex (DIGX), a leading Web hosting provider. WCOM believes combining its network infrastructure and customer relationships with DIGX's hosting products will offer competitive advantages that will rapidly boost its data services revenues. The company is also deploying technology to employ Voice over Internet Protocol to provide businesses with a wide range of integrated, lower cost voice and messaging services. The MCI group accounted for 42% of 2000 total revenue, and 38% of net income. The division has experienced growth in local phone services (now available in New York, Pennsylvania and Texas), wireless messaging (through the SkyTel subsidiary), and dial up Internet access services. These businesses contributed approximately 6.1% of WCOM's total revenues in 2000. INCORPORATED in Georgia June 21, 1983, as 21st Century Robotics, Inc. Name changed to TFC Teleservices Corp.
