MCI WorldCom to challenge in Singapore SINGAPORE - MCI WorldCom has won regulatory approval to provide Internet exchange services in Singapore, breaking a monopoly held by Singapore Telecommunications, the island state's dominant telephone company. MCI WorldCom said it plans to offer the Internet services through its wholly owned unit UUNET Technologies, which expects to start operations in Singapore by October. Internet exchange services are sold to Internet service providers, which in turn give online users access to Web sites in other parts of the world. A UUNET executive said that the Asia-Pacific will be the focus of MCI WorldCom's expansion this year.
