>>LVLT and QWST are not in competition? The business plan of LVLT includes the "last mile" while QWST is long distance. That makes them sound like good partners--Crowe tries to downplay talk of rift. The article also said that some people think Qwest is being built for sale.<<

I don't agree, Diana. Crowe said that? Surprising.

IMO, in this day and age as long as you have an Internet access line (which by definition is local), and you enter the Internet or even an enterprise intranet (which by most definitions are wide area), all telecomm business eventually becomes any-and-all-distance (local and long, data and voice).

It does sound to me, on the surface, like these two companies may have a reason to want to keep the image of their relationship looking chummy.
