Analysts, including Smith, say Qwest is a better fit for several key reasons. Buying Qwest would allow BellSouth to gain a formidable data network for Internet and business services. In addition, BellSouth could enter the growing Web-hosting business. And for good measure, a union of BellSouth's Latin American networks with Qwest's European and Asian networks would create a global network with few rivals, Smith said. Qwest could get access to BellSouth's local telephone lines, which is the key reason behind its pending merger with U S West (USW:NYSE).
