FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ISG Telecom Responds to Worldcom Crisis By
Expanding Its Negotiating Staff
Tampa, FL/EWORLDWIRE/June 27, 2002 ---
Effective immediately, ISG-Telecom Consultants
has doubled its staff of contract negotiators in
an effort to help major companies migrate to
other long distance carriers in the wake of
Worldcom fraud charges and potential bankruptcy
filing.
On June 27, 2002, WorldCom, Inc. was slapped
with fraud charges by U.S. regulators a day
after admitting it hid almost $4 billion of
costs, drawing the communications giant closer
to bankruptcy in one of the biggest accounting
scandals on record.
Since the 1996 Telco Act, ISG has been an
integral part of the telecommunications industry
by creating Competitive Local Exchange Carriers
and Long Distance companies through
certifications and contract negotiations.
With many national and international
organizations scrambling to find a fix to the
potential Worldcom bankruptcy filing, ISG
Telecom will re-focus its negotiating staff and
makes its talent available to Fortune 1000
companies in an effort to solidify favorable
long term contracts with other carriers as well
as the successful migration of their long
distance and data needs.
With the expansion of ISG’s negotiation staff,
new offices have been opened in Tampa, Florida
for the co-ordination of all contract reviews,
carrier implementations and migrations. The
Tampa staff will be overseen by Matthew Brown,
Executive Vice-President of ISG-Telecom.
“We are disgruntled about the recent turn
of events in the Telecommunications Sector but
are pleased with the expansion of our staff,
here in Tampa, and the opportunity to help many
companies who lack the internal personnel get
through this negotiation process and
telecommunications crisis here in the USA,"
says Matthew Brown.
``Today's announcement builds on our devotion to
the success of the telecommunications industry
as a whole,'' said Joseph Isaacs, ISG-Telecom
President.
