>>If they bought out Qwest, they would then be supplying lines to their competitors, which would be an interesting situation.

That's very commonplace. Not every carrier has long line capacity from every point to every point, so they often buy capacity from one another.

Besides, if they have excess capacity, it makes perfect sense to sell it at a profit, especially if it's at your competitor's expense. After all, if you don't profit from their need, someone else (i.e. another one of your competitors) will.
