Network Based on Internet
By JOHN J. KELLER
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
January 20, 1998

Former managers of local telecommunication-services trailblazer MFS
Communications Co., with $3 billion, plan to build the first global
system of Internet-based local and long-distance networks,
challenging aging phone companies in major markets.

The new company is led by James Q. Crowe, who built MFS and sold it
to WorldCom Inc. for $14 billion two years ago. Called Level 3
Communications Inc., it plans to employ the latest in fiber-optics
and packet-data switches and routers to move voice and data traffic
from users of the Internet.
