Business Summary
WorldCom Group provides a broad range of communications services to both United States- and non-United States-based businesses and consumers. The Company is a global communications company utilizing a strategy based on being able to provide service through its own facilities throughout the world instead of being restricted to a particular geographic location. The Company calls this its "on-net" strategy. The on-net approach allows customers to send data or voice communications across town, across the United States, or to any of the Company's networks in Europe or Asia, without ever leaving WorldCom's networks. The on-net approach provides customers with superior reliability and low operating costs. The Company's core business is communications services, which includes voice, data, Internet and international services. During each of the last three years, more than 90% of the Company's operating revenues were derived from communications services.
