Standard & Poor's today raised its corporate credit and related ratings on QWEST COMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL INC. and LCI International Inc. to triple-'B'-plus from double-'B'-plus. These ratings are removed from CreditWatch with positive implications, where they were placed after the announcement of Qwest Communications International's plans to merge with U S WEST Inc. At the same time, Standard & Poor's assigned its 'A-2' short-term corporate credit rating to Qwest Communications International. The 'A-2' commercial paper rating on Qwest Capital Funding Inc., the former U S WEST Capital Funding Inc., was affirmed. (Reuters 04:32 PM ET 07/07/2000)
