DWDM is a current technology. So is 10 gigabits/second which MCI and others have already deployed in 1997. You will see a terrabit/sec per fiber in the next 18 monhts, with higher speed.

Qwest might have dropped because some realize that AT&T, MCI, Sprint and others aren't going to run to Qwest for additional bandwidth because their own fiber networks can expand by 10, then 10 again two years later, and likely 10 again after that.

MCI announced that more than 25% of revenues came from Internet and Data Services, growing at 20%+ a year. Truly a company moving toward the next century.

Lots of business for Qwest, but not necessarily that much reselling 'capacity' to the big three now. MCI is planning beyond terrabits now so the capacity will be there.
