Clinton, MS, August 13, 1999 -- MCI WorldCom will implement a
recovery plan this weekend to restore stability to a frame relay
network platform.
Beginning at 12 noon EDT on Saturday, August 14, MCI WorldCom will
take this domestic frame relay network platform out of service for an
approximately 24-hour period. During this period frame relay service on
this network will not be available. As a result, some customers of some
Internet Service Providers will not be able to connect to their service
through their regular local access numbers.
MCI WorldCom believes these steps to be the prudent solution that
will allow it to provide a robust and fully functional frame relay
service to its customers on this platform.
MCI WorldCom apologizes to its impacted customers for the
interruption in service and is working around the clock to restore
service.
