SBC enters alliance with Williams

NEW YORK, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Local phone-service provider SBC Communications
Inc. said Monday it entered into a long-term strategic alliance with the communications unit
of Williams Cos. as part of its continuing effort to expand beyond its local area.

As part of the deal, San Antonio-based SBC will take up to a 10 percent stake in Williams Communications when the unit
has its initial public offering, currently scheduled for the second quarter. SBC will be limited to a $500 million investment.

The deal gives SBC access to Williams' optic fiber-based backbone network, as well as allowing for integrated product
development and marketing between the companies.

Tulsa, Okla.-based Williams plans for its network to reach 125 cities in the United States.
