MCI Worldcom (WCOM) News!! Co said it will launch a nationwide, ultrafast Internet-access-service via traditional copper telephone lines or POTS - plain old telephone service. The service, known as DSL, allows customers to surf the Internet at speeds many times faster than they can using conventional computer modems. Internet Service Providers will resell the product to consumers. The Baby Bell telephone companies have been slow to deploy such services. COMMENT FROM THE BULL MARKET REPORT: "This is a good example of the speed and power of the new phone companies. Here is MCI Worldcom offering this service throughout the United States, when you have the giant Baby Bells just sitting on their haunches. It will be companies like MCI Worldcom that will blow past them and snare the business from under their noses. Think about it: most homes don't have cable installed and some will never see cable. But every home in America has a phone line already installed. The technology is here now, the lines are in place, we're willing to pay for faster Internet speeds, go on with the show! We've got our money on MCI Worldcom, the phone company of the next millenium."
