Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure.

     On February 8, 2001, during a conference call to discuss the earnings for
the fourth quarter of 2000 of WorldCom, Inc. (the "Company"), Bernard J.
Ebbers, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, made the
following comments with respect to the In re Digex, Inc. Shareholders
Litigation (Consolidated Civil Action No. 18336 NC) in connection with the
proposed merger (the "Merger") of Intermedia Communications Inc. with a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company:

     "Because the case remains in litigation, we are very limited in what we
can say. Following the Delaware Chancery Court's December 2000 decision, the
parties to the litigation have been discussing ways to resolve the matter.
WorldCom is hopeful a framework for the settlement can be reached that would
permit the merger to be closed during the second quarter of 2001 and will not
negatively impact WorldCom's earnings. There can, however, be no absolute
assurance that a settlement will be finalized."

     The foregoing are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements concerning
the future outcome of litigation and the completion of the Merger. Such
forward-looking statements are subject to a number of uncertainties and other
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such
