Re: Staving Off Bankruptcy

it means they control more of the network in whole. And yes they are armed. AT$T owns a GREAT share of the backbone and controls pricing for what others pay for Internet.

Sounds like you want MaBell back. And Current environment? HA! others can take Qwest without giving it to AT$T or VZ.

But then again you must think that AT$T will give the customers of Qwest something they don't already have? They already have DSL they don't want AT$T's over priced services.

Other backbone providers exist, so I don't see the harm. I don't necessarily have a problem with ILEC consolidation if done correctly, especially since the situation is different now than it was when AT&T was divested. Personally, I don't think AT&T is interested in buying Qwest, so I think you're okay.

While we can debate AT&T's choice in VDSL, at least they have a vision and our deploying infrastructure? What's Qwest's vision? So yes, I think AT&T can give customers something that they don't already have with Qwest.
