[Qwest] An article on the CenturyLink Qwest merger

»www.sltrib.com/sltrib/money/5099···html.csp

I just found this and wonder if this part has seen action:

The Utah Public Service Commission has issued an order approving the pending merger between CenturyLink Inc. and Qwest Communications.

After a review of the transaction, the PSC said it determined the merger is in the public interest.

As part of the review process, the companies committed that once their combination is completed they will invest a minimum of $25 million in broadband infrastructure in Utah over the following five years.

It doesn't feel like anything has changed for the positive in Salt Lake.

According to CL, that's what the recent 99 cent fee is supposed to be used for.

Guess nobody specified how it was going to be paid for. :P

I didn't realize that about the 99 cent fee. Now the other question is whether CenturyLink is actually investing that into the infrastructure.

Wonder what you will get for $5M per year?

In the Salt Lake area? I'm not sure, but at the moment it doesn't look like reliable internet service

I'm often looking at an SNR of 0 to 3dB and constant disconnects.
