from Governali at CSFB: WCII: Data An Expanding Part of WCII Growth


BUY
WinStar Communications (wcii)

Data already an important growth contributor, Internet savvy
demonstrated by CBS deal.

Summary

WinStar announced that it has achieved a $100 million run
rate in data/internet revenues. This size highlights that
WCII is one of the leading CLECs in the data "space."

WCII has sold a 1/3 interest to CBS in its Office.com web
site for $48 million in advertising and promotion. This CBS
stake will help drive advertising revenue growth.

WCII's internet business is driven by sales to ISPs with over
1 million customers, more than 50,000 retail customers, 6,000
web hosting sites, advertising sales, web design, and portal
applications.

WCII anticipates 25-30% gross margins for data revenues,
rising sharply with the transition to the Williams network.
