>>What makes him think QWEST can steal AT&T's customers? There are switching costs, including switching out the local loop. AT&T is a known commodity and has established relationships. QWEST is a ??? Sure, they will win some business, but only by aggressively offering discounts. But they won't kill AT&T IMO.<<<< Qwest bought LCI to get access to the edges. I don't think that they will stop there. In any event that (edge topology) makes no difference to their highly efficient, high bandwidth IP backbone. They can haul voice traffic at a fraction of the cost of ATA&T class4 circuit switches. Geting the edge traffic onto their IP backbone does not necessarily translate into voice on layer 2.
