| But SkiWi provided digital phone service
Someone asked how can the PRC intervene in an internet service? Well that internet serice is used for phone and that puts the whole thing right under the PRC's regulation charter especially as vital services like 911, hospitals, and government offices access were cut off in some areas.
Furthermore it is not just the New Mexico PRC that have issues with Qwest's antics. The Nebraska Public Service Commission just won a suit against Qwest in U.S District Court regarding how much Qwest can charge companies like Cox communications. Then there is a that lawsuit regarding US West retirement benefits and the Seattle lawsuit regarding Qwest's early termination fee.
And let's not forget the $40 million Qwest added to the $400 million award regarding securities fraud to try and end that mess.
Let's face it Qwest really messed up on how that handled this. Even without a list Qwest could have sent all their customers a notice that there were issues with SkiWi and possible cut off of service. |
