William, you might want to read this other QWST news, too: <<Cheap long-distance service will be a big part of the initial appeal of Internet-protocol networks like Qwest's, Tinger said, but the ultimate selling point will be their ability to handle a variety of services, including video and images along with voice and data. Qwest is preparing for both the bargain-hunting small customer and the bandwidth-gobbling commercial account. Last month, the company added 288 crucial miles of fiber-optic capacity between New York and Boston to its network and announced plans to acquire Phoenix Network Inc. (PHX), a Golden, Colo., long-distance reseller that will bring Qwest about 40,000 business customers and $75 million in revenue. Qwest, which saw third-quarter revenue jump to $188.9 million from $44.3 million a year ago, may not stop with the network it now has planned.>> You may have noticed that QWST is not only an IP provider, but a data transporter as well. They can move video images as well as voice and data. They can move gobs of information really fast compared to today's standards. This system will be in 125 cities soon and they are starting IP calls at 7.5 cents a minute. They say that price is high and there is a lot of room to lower the prices. I like the IP industry. However, I don't like FTEL specifically because of its past. Has anyone called WCOM to see what they think of the significance of the collocation deal?
