Williams contends that this multimedia use of its fiber is allowed in the agreement. In their 1994 contract, WorldCom and Williams agreed to cooperate in reconfiguring the network to isolate the strand of fiber owned by Williams. The petition notes that WorldCom has failed to cooperate in this project, has unilaterally removed Williams equipment and used Williams fiber, and has threatened to shut down portions of the Williams network. The lawsuit points out that reconfiguration cannot be completed unless WorldCom participates in implementing a comprehensive, cooperative plan. The lawsuit asks the court to compel WorldCom to abide by all provisions of the 1994 contract with Williams and to pay unspecified additional compensatory damages.
