Re: Like duhh No, but you seem to be. Verizon isn't going to give ANYBODY a discount, much less a re-seller. You'll PAY what VZW tells Qwest to charge and you can bet it's going to be the SAME if not MORE then what you can get by walking into a Verizon retail store  Now, go back and re-read again. I'm talking about the CUSTOMER.. I couldn't really give a rats rear about Qwest or VZ. Qwest will only make as much as VZ allows them to make. It looks good on the outside, but deep down.. they will do no better whith whoever they "signed" with. |

| Qwest will give the discount. Just like Qwest gives the discount to DirecTV customers who BUNDLE services through them. This really isn't a hard concept to grasp. Customer buys phone, TV, or internet from Qwest. Customer has Verizon wireless or is looking for wireless service. Qwest offers them a bundled rate to get Verizon through them. Verizon bills their normal charge Qwest gives a discount off the total bill. Of course there will be no discount if you buy Verizon from Qwest without bundling with another product, but that is no shock.
Verizon will also be offering Qwest products and services in their stores in the Qwest service area.
Qwest will also be working with Verizon on goverment deals to offer bundled services something that Sprint would not allow Qwest to do. |

| The government discounts make sense another way, as both Qwest and Verizon have several Rather Large Government Contracts (via GSA's Networx omnibus contracts, which cover all the government except the military, which has separate contracts with both companies). State governments (and in some cases, municipal and county governments as well) can now purchase services under Uncle's contracts. |
