Re: Man...Qwest gets even worse news....

Let's use common sense here....if the new contractor was still Qwest, there would be no problem in naming it as the contractor for the new network. So why won't they name it? Common sense says that Qwest lost the contract. Once it's named, we'll see who was wrong.

There is NOTHING in the AP article that says that Qwest was "fired." What it DOES say is that the current Internet2 is run by Qwest, and that the new fiber links will also be run by a private contractor, as yet unnamed. Presuming the project was put out for bid, any of a number of companies could be the winner, INCLUDING Qwest.
