Re: No Surprise

It is also backhaul for dsl and data. Larger businesses still use lots of data. Just because Qwest doesn't know how to compete doesn't mean the backhaul isn't needed.
If it had been sold it would have been the end .

Wouldn't necessarily have been "the end". Though they would have lost all their ISP customers (Charter is a big one) bandwidth in big cities is cheap enough now that they could have still worked thing out just fine. I'm sure they'd be keeping their regional networks.

If they had gotten $2B for the network, sure they would've had to have start paying for some stuff, but even if they had to pay $1M per month for bandwidth due to selling that network, it'd still take a few dozen years for them to be on the raw end of the deal.
