I can only hope that Verizon buys Quest now. then there will only be 2 people will offer phone service Verizon and ATT.

I would love to see Verizon in Colorado getting out FIOS

Canonsburg, PA		 Verizon won't acquire Qwest now because of the debt load that would result. I hate to say it but Katrina is part of the reason A T & T (formerly SBC) can acquire BellSouth now.

True, and I'm NOT looking forward to the lame bidding war for Qwest when they come out of bankruptcy protection (i know, they aren't bankrupt....yet) -- but AT&T and Verizon are both not willing to take THAT debt load given all they get is the old US-West footprint (which no-one wanted in the first place - you know the footprint...its where all our Universal Service Fees are heading) and some long-haul fibre (which everyone basically already has now) that is why Qwest was trying to (and basically did) toss in the kitchen sink to get MCI away from Verizon (and also failed). I give it 5-10years till its AT&T (SBC) vs Verizon and sadly the management won't be much different than the old pre-breakup MaBell (since basically it still is the same ... just the next generation)

edit: Got this when posting...seems fitting:

Sanger, CA		 If they wait 'til Qwest goes bankrupt, the creditors will probably cancel much of that debt (Like the "New" MCI that was bought out by VZ).
