Intel To Buy $200 Million in Williams Communications' Stock
Software Giant To Use Network for Data Services Transport
By Liz Montalbano
05/26/1999

Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel Corp. (www.intel.com) signed an agreement May 25 to purchase $200 million in stock of Tulsa, Okla.-based Williams subsidiary Williams Communications Inc. (www.wilcom.com).

The deal, which Jonathan B. Haller, director, network and Internet services for Sterling, Va.-based Current Analysis Inc. (www. currentanalysis.com) likens to Microsoft Corp.'s (www.microsoft.com) investment in Qwest Communications International Inc. (www.qwest.net), makes Williams "a transport facility for Intel's grand e-business plan. .... Williams Communications will become a provider of network transport for nationwide web-hosting computer centers that Intel's new Internet Data Services business is constructing."
