MCI Launches Review of Least Cost Routing Operations

MCI hired Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, a law firm based in Washington D.C., to investigate competitor claims surrounding the company's handling of call routing and access fees. MCI said it routes approximately 8% of its traffic to Least Cost Routing (LCR) companies, which it claims are legitimate businesses that provide long-distance and competitive local exchange carriers with an alternative to terminate traffic and reduce access fees. The company denied charges that some secure U.S. government traffic could have been compromised in any way.
