KPNQwest network to shut down starting Fri-web site AMSTERDAM, July 18 (Reuters) - The remains of bankrupt KPNQwest's data network, once Europe's largest, will be shutdown in a controlled manner starting 0900 GMT Friday if no agreement to sell it is reached, the company's web site said on Thursday. KPNQwest <KQIP.AS> was declared bankrupt at the end of May, but its trustees had managed to keep chunks of its network running for the last six weeks with a skeleton staff and have sold some parts of it. The company's trustees have said that its parent company KPN <KPN.AS> and Nordic region's top telecoms group Telia <TLIA.ST> are interested in acquiring the remains.
