story category Qwest CEO to Speak with Analysts on Future Plans
Response right now is mostly indifference

tags: business · wireless · Qwest.net
Qwest has been pretty quiet about its plans for the future since Ed Mueller took over as CEO last year. However, Mueller is starting to open up a little bit about how he’d like to see the company move forward. He recently announced that Qwest seeks partnership in mobile broadband development. And he’ll be speaking with analysts in New York tomorrow at the company’s first Analyst Day since 2001.

Some people are underwhelmed about the meeting which is expected to draw about 200 attendees:
"I don't know what they're going to say. I don't anticipate too much coming out of the meeting," said Tim Horan, CIBC World Markets analyst. "You're looking at a company with flat (cash flow) and revenues. There's not a lot (Mueller) can say or do with the network. I don't think they have a lot of options."
However others hope that Mueller will take advantage of the meeting as a launching pad for sharing his development plans with the public. Analysts want to know more about Qwest’s impending change in wireless strategies and how the company plans to battle the big telcos in the business.

"Analysts want to know more about Qwest’s impending change in wireless strategies and how the company plans to battle the big telcos in the business."

Maybe his plan is to offload Qwest to one of those telcos...

Maybe. But he sure isn't going to say that to the analysts tomorrow.

VZ doesn't want rural areas, and T might. Plus, what to do about all that debt...

What Qwest needs to do is make a lot of acquisitions. There was an article that I read that listed companies that Qwest could buy. From there I did some research to narrow down the list to some companies.

CEO

@QWEST.NET

Re: The future

New CEO hired by former underling or suggested as a hire. Same ole same ole. Nothing new here. Just those at the top looking for a second or third or fourth retirement with no effort. The contract is a give him. Guaranteed bonus then maybe if a sale or bankruptcy leach more. Plus a retirement in a few years. Most work till death and hope for a retirement. Not the great few. Many retirements back to back with large cash payouts.

Qwest ceo to speak

There is no way in God's green earth that Verizon would want anything to do with the state of Arizona. I live in a county here that is approx the size of Mass. with a population of 55,000 people. Verizon is trying to dump it's northern New England states because thy aren't profitable. The state of Arizona is the 6th largest in the country, and all of it's population is basically living in 2 counties. The best that all of us here in Arizona can hope for would be Qwest going to ADSL, or someother similar technology IMO.
