      MFN Future Brightens

      Metromedia Fiber Network, which had until Aug. 15 to line up a new round of financing, has hammered out a conditional agreement with lenders, including Citigroup, for $150 million.

Juniper had 34.7 percent of the market, Avici Systems had 4 percent and Lucent Technologies accounted for 0.2 percent. Total router spending for the quarter dropped 29 percent, from $753.1 million in the first quarter to $535.4 million, as big customers such as WorldCom and Qwest Communications International slowed network upgrades.

This is SBCs second try in Missouri, where regulators found flaws in the system that other companies use to interact with SBCs networks. The Federal Communications Commission has 90 days to rule on this application.

      Fujitsu Slashes

      Fujitsus sweeping restructuring includes 16,400 job cuts, mostly in the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, though the company says it has no immediate plans to dump any of its business lines. Fujitsu makes computers, semiconductors and telecom gear, and has been hit hard by the U.S. high-tech skid.
