I am guessing that we will hear tomorrow on USW & FRO. I think we need both of them. Of the two, we need USW more for the customers. Nacchio and Paul are not raising the bid for both of them for nothing. I'm just wondering why they waited until GBLX made the move forcing them to go after them. I guess GBLX 'called' before QWST. Poker game. If you think about it, USW and FRO must go with QWST. GBLX has that one line going wherever. To me , it's a no brainer that they will accept QWST's offer. Of course, I must qualify that statement. I couldn't light a piece of fiber, let alone send signals thru it. I am concerned about the last mile for QWST. I mean we have this big ass network to send stuff around but can't deliver it. It's like building a super highway across the US, or any country, without exit ramps to somewhere locally. I think that is one reason they want USW and have bought into ARTT. ac
