TELECOM

WorldCom's CEO is "outraged'

In a letter to President Bush, John Sidgmore said he was "surprised and outraged" by the telecom's $3.85 bil accounting scandal. Sidgmore was vice chairman before becoming CEO in April. The nearly bankrupt telecom began laying off 17,000 workers. It's in talks with banks to secure new funding.

Pension funds take WorldCom hit

The nation's biggest pension plans lost well over $1 bil. The biggest, California's Calpers, faces a $565 mil loss. New York state's fund stands to lose $300 mil. Washington state's fund, which could lose $75 mil, may sue.

BCE to buy back 20% from SBC

The Canadian telecom plans to buy back for $4.18 bil the 20% of Bell Canada it does not already own. SBC bought 20% of Bell Canada in June '99. BCE rose 0.80 to 17.42.
