Here's a fresh outlook from Smartmoney.com Just the last paragraph: But maybe, just maybe, Qwest is placing a canny bet that the Internet can carry real live phone calls in the near future. One could say Nacchio took such a bet when he left a cozy spot at AT&T Corp. (T) several years ago to "ride the light," as they say. A bet on IP telephony, if indeed this is such, makes sense if you consider the view that someday all calls will be neither local nor long distance, but simply Internet phone calls. If it goes down, a Qwest-U S West deal could be the real kickoff to the Internet phone race.
