AT&T WorldNet, part III
What about domestic trials or services?

We have a lot of things in the works for IP fax and voice. We will
aggressively go after this market. IP is front and center [in] this
company's future.

Are there concerns that these types of services will affect
AT&T's other business areas, primarily long distance?

One has to lead in these markets - its important to your future. I
know that my mother is not going to be making any IP voice calls
soon, but there are certain market segments where these
services fit.

From an Internet standpoint, how do you view the pending
WorldCom/MCI merger?

AT&T plans to aggressively compete with WorldCom in Internet
services, and we are well positioned to do that. We have a
profound footprint in frame relay and private lines that no one can
compete with. Mergers and acquisitions are an interesting way of
approaching the marketplace.

Does AT&T plan on growing through acquisition?

I can't really comment on that. Does AT&T believe the
merged MCI/WorldCom entity will have any unfair
advantages over the rest of the ISP industry?

This is an open and competitive marketplace, and at the end of
the day, customers are going to buy based on quality of service,
availability and reliability. Marketing tactics will not carry users
for very long.
