MCI Says Court Rules Against AT&T; Request: MCI Communications Corp. said a U.S. District Court judge freed the company of an injunction requiring it to file specific rate tariffs for major contract customers. The injunction stemmed from a complaint by rival American Telephone & Telegraph Co. requesting that MCI disclose all the rates it charges to its customers. The complaint was dismissed. The ruling reverses an earlier ruling ordering MCI to disclose all rate schedules to ensure that it’s not charging customers differently from published rates filed with the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC required MCI to file rates in the spring, after extended litigation in U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. Unlike MCI, AT&T; has long been required to file all tariff schedules with the FCC.
