Williams Communications Files for Chapter 11
TULSA, Okla. (Reuters) - Williams Communications Group Inc. (OTC BB:WCGR.OB -
news) said on Monday it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in a bid
to restructure and cut its debt by about $6 billion.
The company said it filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of New York and expects to file a reorganization plan
in the ``near future.''
Its operating subsidiary, Williams Communications, LLC, is not expected to be
involved in the Chapter 11 reorganization process, the statement said.
The company's Chapter 11 filing comes as the battered telecommunications sector
continues to takes a hammering from heavy competition, a glut of fiber-optic
networks and bankruptcy filings by other competitors.
