I could easily see them saying something like " for 25 dollars per month you get unlimited access to our network for your internet, and unlimited long distance calls."

I agree that's coming, but Qwest doesn't seem to have much reason to do anything that would drive the other telcos out of business. After all, they make money from the sale or lease of their pipes to those companies, no? The other problem, of course, is the "last mile". T seems to be heading quickly to the one-price package model, but their advantage in this is that they'll be able to say (once they get the expensive technology in place): "For $x.xx, you can get long-distance and local calls, internet, and cable TV using our wire that is already in your house." But then again, they might end up having to lease capacity from Qwest to do it all.
