| How about this? File bankruptcy (most favorable of chapters), unload all that massive debt.. and start anew? Then upgrades could go smooth as new money can start rolling in to finance system-wide upgrades. Sometimes it's hard work and you have to cut the dead wood out of the system (debt load). I'm not saying this move would be popular or wouldn't cause some intermediate pain (poor, poor shareholders and bond/debt holders).. but given the fact that other major industries are heading for similar type pain (mortgage & banking industries are good examples), why not the weakest of the telcos? If qwest doesn't start to get serious about 21st century networks, it will never get done.
I always recommend this.. if your in comcast, qwest or at&t telecom/cablecom zones that can't fulfill your telecommunications needs: MOVE! |
