NEW YORK, Feb 20 (Reuters) - The Justice Department has
sent civil subpoenas to America Online Inc and MCI
Communications Corp as part of its anti-trust
investigation against Microsoft Corp , the Wall Street
Journal said on Friday in its electronic edition.
The subpoenas appear to focus on whether the Internet
providers agreed to favor Microsoft's Internet Explorer product
over archrival Netscape Communications Corp's Netscape
browser, the Journal said.
The newspaper cities people familiar with the situation as
its source.
The move confirms that investigators are examining
additional channels Microsoft uses to distribute its Internet
Explorer software, the newspaper said.
