At the risk of boring everyone on the list:
We've been told that as of 12/31/96 our company is called "MFS Worldcom",
and starting 2/1/97 we'll be just "Worldcom". Rumor has it that there had
been some sort of trademark dispute forcing something to be in front of
the Worldcom name (as in "LDDS Worldcom"), but that has been resolved.
