Telecom challenges New York
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MCI Communications, in which British Telecom has a large stake, is planning a full range of local telephone services to business customers in New York, and 10 other US cities by the end of this year, in a challenge to the nation's regional telephone companies.
Under the new plan, MCI will offer local service, high-speed private lines used for data transmission, and special service to bypass local telephone companies in reaching long-distance carriers.
