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.

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.
