Qwest packages free Net access with long distance biz.yahoo.com DENVER, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Long distance phone company Qwest Communications International Inc. on Tuesday unveiled a package that would offer free Internet access to consumers who buy special long distance calling services. Denver-based Qwest (Nasdaq:QWST - news) said the package features free, unlimited dial-up Internet service and 250 minutes of domestic long distance calling service for a flat rate of $24.95 per month. Additional minutes will be charged at 10 cents per minute. Long distance companies have been battling to take advantage of their shrinking internal costs to offer discounts to customers in hopes that they also will subscribe to more lucrative services such as Internet, data and wireless. ''By leveraging our Internet technologies and Web-based customer platforms, Qwest is bringing consumers the best in today's communications services,'' said John Taylor, Qwest senior vice president of consumer markets.
