FYI - article posted on LVLT thread re: bandwidth glut. (Yes, I know, the horse is dead and it has been beaten to a pulp.)

Interesting opening to the article:
<Dirt cheap, high-capacity bandwidth - it's what buyers of communications services dream about at night.

But that dream could turn into a nightmare for builders of new long-distance fiber-optic networks. A bandwidth glut could leave them scrambling for customers to pay for these multibillion- dollar ventures>

Seems to me the US West acquisition is part of the solution. The article covers it briefly.
