Qwest's offer is Win - Win for them.

If they get US West and Frontier, they solve the last mile problem in a significant area, gain a substantial customer base, and make themselves far less likely to be taken over, especially by another Baby Bell. I doubt if the FCC will allow 2 Baby Bells and a Long Distance Company to merge.

If Global Crossing raises it's bid, we improve out competitive position.

This is Win - Win, even if it doesn't fly, Qwest can be seen as defending it's position of remaining independent. When the dust settles again, Qwest will be setting new highs.
