From a PM. Thank you for this. Friday, July 5, 2002 3:27 PM ET To: Joe Copia From: ************ Just Who and What is WorldCom? It seems to me that a lot of focus on WorldCom these days is concentrated on a small handful of individuals who according to the press, at best expressed poor judgment, at worst, acted in a criminal manner that has led to investigations that will have a long term negative impact on a truly great company. Granted John Sidgmore, Scott Sullivan and Bernie Ebbers are in the spotlight right now, and we all know it is going to be very hot under those lights. Aside from these individuals, who is WorldCom? We should also ask what is WorldCom? Over the last two weeks, I have listened to media pundits who think they have a bead on WorldCom, but I have yet to hear any one get it right, or even come close. WorldCom isn't a rag tag group of accountants who have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar. They aren't a deceiving cadre of people out to hide in the mire of accounting gobbledygook. WorldCom is so much more. What WorldCom is: It is a two Frame Relay networks made of 3000+ Frame Switches. It is two ATM networks made of 3000+ ATM switches. It is a Internet Backbone made of 1500 Juniper M40/M160/Cisco GSR Routers. It is thousands of access switches and routers to the Internet Backbone. It is 50% of all internet traffic globally. It is 2500 Internet Access PoPs. It is ALL of the Metropolitan Area Access points where all Internet Service Providers Peer. The WorldCom MAEs carry virtually all off the Internet Traffic in the World. It is hundreds of massive voice swithes carrying millions upon milliions of calls every day. It is a SONET network made of 10s of Thousands of SONET elements in 128 counties. It is millions of square feet of hosting facilities capable of holding 375,000 servers. It is dial access for 50% of all AOL traffic. It is dial access for virtually all of Compuserv traffic. It is millions of T-1 to OC-48 leased line circuits. It is 30 Billion dollars in Annual Revenue. It is a company with 3.5 billion shares out on the street. It is 103 Billion, that's right, 103 Billion dollars in capital assets. That is 10,300 Times bigger than Yipes! That is more than the GNP of most countries in the World. Who WorldCom is: It is 80,000, change that, 63,000 dedicated professionals who bring the most reliable SONET, Fame Relay, ATM, Internet and Hosting services to the market place. it is 20 million long distance voice customers. It is 20 million AOL and CompuServ Dial Access customers. It is 300,000 Internet Access Customers. It is 100s of thousands of ATM and Frame Relay customer sites. It is 100s of millions of voice customers passing through local Bell Companies using WorldCom SONET rings. It is 75 million users and computer systems accessing the Internet. It is individuals who have lead the research efforts that have brought ATM, Frame Relay and the Internet itself to our doorsteps. It is the heart and soul of virtually every person in the United States who has placed a phone call or sent an Internet Instant message to a loved one. Everything about WorldCom is tangible in a huge way. WorldCom has global impact. It is not a simple spigot that can be turned off. It cannot go away. Contrary to some of the opinions of the media hyenas, the World will not be a better place if WorldCom goes away. Many of their comments simply prove that they just don't get it. They don't get who or what WorldCom is. Pass this along. Maybe, in some way, it will help them understand. We all need to help WorldCom get through this. WorldCom is a good thing... </i?
