AMD is going to merge with nVidia after buying ATI? Seems a bit farfetched. |

"Qwest, on the other hand, is predicted to be on its way out of the market with Verizon cited as the most likely buyer of the company."
Hope not. Then VZ will continue focusing on large return cities and never make Fios available here.

| amd, qwest
Verizon would've bought Qwest already, if they wanted to. Plus, they don't want rural areas. They're been selling off unprofitable areas (no fios areas). Qwest should go it alone. They have a chance. Moving fios to Qwest territory would likely increase their network upgrade from around $24 bln to over $30 bln.
AMD buying ATi, then getting bought by Nvidia... While Intel is in the graphics business, they're nowhere near Nvidia. Look at the integrated graphics. AMD should've partnered with ATi, instead of just buying them.
That list mentioned Level 3! |

since when are the people at wall street 24x7 considered reputable?
People have been saying this about all these companies listed for YEARS. Nothing will happen. Watch and see. |

Well with Qwest you'll never have FIOS anyway, so what are you losing? |

I have been reading about the intimate demise of AMD for more then 20 years now. I wonder how many of these rumors have been started by Intel, or stock manipulators so they can short sell shares in AMD.

of course, AT&T could just buy Qwest, thus further increasing the amount of people that can be wire-tapped --

IBM would be more likely to buy AMD then anyone. After all IBM and AMD have teamed up in the past. They would both work well together.

Everybody has predictions of what will happen in the future..
Unfortunately.. most of these are off the mark.. Aside from at least ONE Cable or Telephone company merger, sale or acquisition, spin-off.. SOMETHING happening.. none of the other companies are going anywhere..
For example, how many customers is Qwest actually hemorraging to change it's fundamental financial stability?
If QWEST went belly-up.. I'm more than sure that it would be relatively even split between Verizon & AT&T--with Verizon getting the crown jewels. Sprint is a more likely company to go belly up with real tangible customer losses piling up. |

Re: The Great Kreskin
Qwest isn't going under any time soon (read decades) if at all. They are currently making (net) ~1.2 billion a year, and is giving a bunch of it away in the form of a stock dividend. While their debt is high compared to other RBOCs, it's not compared to other S&P 500 companies, and is coming down.
As for a purchase, as stated above, if Verizon wanted them, they would have bought them already. And while Qwest's share price is rather low, it's level of debt is not attractive. While there are some growth prospects, they are barely enough to keep up with pots losses, so revenue is rather stagnant to slightly declining. With a great network but no wireless, they seem to be more likely to stay on their own as the 3rd RBOC than to be bought, and some mergers that make sense to me don't appear to be in the cards (while a Sprint/Qwest merger seems appropriate, Sprint just spun off all their land lines and seem to have no desire to reenter the pots business, and Alltel seems to have no interest in pots).
What Qwest DOES need to do, IMHO, is to work with the cities who want to get fiber to the prem, such as Seattle, and get it done. Their FTTN is a start on some decent speeds, but FTTP is the future. And figure out a good wireless solution! |

| Alltel used to be in the POTS business in rual Ohio and i think that got sold off to Sprint who was also in the area, who then spun off all pots to embarq. So in Ohio there is a mix of at&t(Realy Ohio Bell dba AT&T Ohio) Verizon North (ex GTE) and Embarq (former company's bought all the outher lil pots operations) . |
