BR, This part of the article sounds good on paper, but there is still a significant chance that theses deals will not occur. I agree with you. "With Qwest's recently announced intentions to acquire both US West and Frontier Communications, this alliance will enable Qwest to move US West's traditional network onto Qwest's world class IP backbone. With greater than 50% nationwide market share in Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), US West is the market leader in providing high-speed DSL services that allow broadband access services to residences and businesses over traditional copper lines. Qwest's interest in acquiring US West is to deliver new technology and broadband communications services to local customers. The deal also extends into application development and the marketing of Internet services. Both companies plan to co-develop applications for Internet-based data, phone and image services, which would be sold to businesses and consumers by Qwest. The Qwest/Cisco alliance enables Qwest to lead the market as it migrates the networks of Frontier and US West from circuit switching onto its world-class IP backbone." Brian

I stopped reading your post when you lost credibility by saying "This is a pure PR by Chambers to boost the stock price." You obviously don't understand Chambers' motivations and your motives are very clear. Obviously, Chambers is desperate to find ways to boost the stock price and your are desperate to find ways to lower it.
