>>WCOM and Crowe (MFS CEO) aren't on very good terms. A merger would be uunlikely. Ditto an RBOC buying QWST. RBOCs can't get into long-distance until they meet the Telecom Reform Act criteria for competitive local markets.<<

That's why a Time Warner & Qwest combo would fit, a la AT&T & TCI.... and another strong possibility is an overseas telco paying big to enter the US market, like Brit Telcom, etc... It would all be up to Phil A.. the majority stockholder of Qwest.
