Interesting read *** BW1270 JUN 08,1999 6:33 PACIFIC 09:33 EASTERN ( BW)(GA-TELEPHONY-2) Telephony's SUPERCOMM Issue Covers Key Telecom Mergers and Acquisitions Business Editors, High-Tech/Telecommunications Writers SUPERCOMM 99 ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 1999--Exploration is over. Service providers are ready to expand. Telephony's SUPERCOMM issue, published today, delivers an in-depth look at recent and pending industry mergers in different market segments. "We've conducted analysis of several high-profile transactions that really demonstrate the scope of this trend," said Executive Editor Jason Meyers. "Our writers have examined all of the possible issues-from technology integration to culture clashes to management entanglements." Five features on the "urge to merge" trend each deliver a comprehensive look at one merger, and its associated challenges, from all angles. Mergers covered include: MCI and WorldCom. The success and future goals for MCI WorldCom, six months after its merger Global Crossing and Frontier Corp. Challenges and benefits of their plan to create a worldwide footprint Bell Atlantic and GTE. Obstacles still in the way of their union, and obstacles to come once it goes through Vodafone and AirTouch. Why the merger makes sense, what it means in global and North American markets SBC and Ameritech. Anatomy of the legal and competitive issues stalling the merger, what must happen for it to go through "Looking at companies like MCI and WorldCom, who have successfully merged diverse cultures and strengths into one company, reveals a lot about the market at large," Editor-in-Chief Joan Engebretson says. "It demonstrates how important simplifying network design and management-not to mention reducing costs-can be in a competitive market." Each feature analyzes the mergers' associated cost savings, competitive advantages, business/marketing conflicts, technological challenges, and impact on long-term business strategies. The package not only guides providers considering mergers in the future; it also guides providers seeking to compete against some newly merged behemoths. "It's not likely that we'll see the end of this merger activity any time soon," Meyers said. "This special report provides a comprehensive view of current industry consolidation, and we will continue to deliver insight into this compelling trend." Telephony is written for telecommunications service providers throughout the industry, both new and incumbent, including ILECs, CLECs, ISPs, IXCs, cable operators and wireless carriers. Every week, it is delivered to 62,500 qualified service providers and telecom professionals (Source: BPA International, December 1998, Paragraph 3a). Coverage includes intelligent insight into the news, business and technology issues shaping the telecom future. Telephony editors are available for comment.
