Re: Cable Competition in Qwest Territory?

"Qwest already resells wireless service from Sprint Nextel. But Mueller said this partnership is not working well for Qwest, and the company is looking to either renegotiate its deal with Sprint or find another company with which to partner in wireless.

"
recieved a newsletter today saying Verizon is the likely new choice, negotations in progress.
These "resell to fill out the line up" deals rarely provide much net profit/revenue to the reseller. Their benifit is to offer a full service package, and they may receive a couple bucks off the top of the full price package. In return the absorb billing, tech support, and much of the advertizing costs, sometimes leaving a net loss for the service, but maybe bringing in/keeping a few more subscribers.
