MCI sees decline in 1998 capital spending Reuters Story - January 29, 1998 09:11 %TEL %ENT %US MCIC V%REUTER P%RTR NEW YORK, Jan 29 (Reuters) - MCI Communications Corp said it expects 1998 capital spending to be about $3.0 billion, down from $3.8 billion in 1997. MCI said the expected decline in capital spending is from lower long distance requirements. About 50 percent of the capital spending will be invested in network software, hardware and integration capabilities for data and Internet. Traditional voice capacity will account for less than 20 percent of the company's capital expenditures this year, the company said.
