ORDER
                 

       Adopted:  March  3, 1998     ;     Released:  March  3, 1998

By the Chief, Formal Complaints & Investigations Branch, Enforcement Division, 
  Common Carrier Bureau:

 1.  On February 26, 1998, MCI Telecommunications Corporation ("MCI") filed a motion
for voluntary dismissal without prejudice of the above-captioned formal complaint against AT&T
Corp. ("AT&T," formerly American Telephone and Telegraph Company), concerning the
lawfulness of AT&T's Home Office Network offering.  MCI states that it no longer wishes to
pursue this action and believes that dismissal of the complaint would allow the resources of the
parties and the Commission to be allocated elsewhere. 

 2.  We are satisfied that granting, in part, MCI's motion to dismiss its complaint will
serve the public interest by eliminating the need for further litigation and the expenditure of
further time and resources by the parties and by the Commission.  MCI has not, however,
presented sufficient grounds to show that dismissal without prejudice would serve the public
interest.  We therefore dismiss the complaint with prejudice.

 3.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 1, 4(i), 4(j), and 208 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  151, 154(i), 154(j), 208, and the
authority delegated in Sections 0.91 and 0.291 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.91,
0.291, that the motion to dismiss the above-captioned complaint without prejudice, filed by MCI
Telecommunications Corporation on March 2, 1998, IS GRANTED to the extent indicated
herein and IS OTHERWISE DENIED.

      4.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned complaint IS DISMISSED
WITH PREJUDICE and that this proceeding IS TERMINATED.
