MCI Accused of Illegal Pricing: American Telephone & Telegraph Co. accused its biggest competitor, MCI Corp., of offering large business customers illegally low prices to win their long-distance telephone business. AT&T; officials said they hope that the complaint will lead to a reversal of a Federal Communications Commission policy that exempts AT&T; competitors from having to file papers with the FCC detailing rates and other terms that they offer customers. In its complaint to the FCC, AT&T; alleged that MCI has used unlawful discriminatory discounts the past two years to win contracts with the Pentagon, Merrill Lynch and others.
