Gosh, what a surprise

Was there ever any doubt?

let's hope a Tunney act review will derail this merger, although I'm not holding my breath.

Merger will probably go thru with the same kind of conditions that were applied to the AT&T/SBC merger. And the courts will probably rubber stamp this too after making a show of deliberation for a couple months. Business as usual.

Of course, this will probably be the last Old Bell company merger to be approved. Qwest will probably have to find a way to merge with someone other than Verizon or AT&T. The justice dept usually draws the line when the field get narrowed to 3 or 4. Much more likely Qwest does a merger with a cable company or a satellite company.

Re: Gosh, what a surprise

Qwest/Embarq?
Or Qwest/Century Tel?

Neither are too sexy when you think about it.

Hmm. I've been thinking that Embarq and Century Tel should merge, and maybe throw Alltel and/or TDS in there too. Basically a merger of all the major rural telcos.

Alltel is a wireless only company now. I think you are thinking of Windstream Communications.

They recently spun off the landline ops into Windstream Communications.

Good one.

No kidding. The telco's are doing everything they can to buy each other up and stiff arm the small ISP's to the grave. All thanks to our wonderful government for turning a blind eye to the buyoffs.

The FCC has become a dangerous wild animal that is infected with a dealy virus.

In the next few years expect only a hand full of Wireless, Telco, and Cable companies. Then the rate hikes and excuses to burn the consumer will begin.

What happen to the Great Generations this country was founded on?
