LCI's sales program and sale force will completely sell out qwst's bandwidth(if they haven't already). This will be good for revenue! fieldtek good luck at worldcom( although why any one would leave qwest to go to worldcom is beyond me, perhaps for the relocation).

Mark, LCI merging with Qwest is the best thing that could have happened for both of the companies. Qwest was a fiber provider that leased it's fiber to other carriers and LCI was a carrier that had to lease it's fiber from a provider. 2+2=4.. or whatever the current stock price is.. My question is, if LCI was at 40+ per share before the marriage and Qwest bought them, why hasn't it risen past where LCI was before the merger? Sure, it depends on the amount of Stock available, but isn't that shored up when they are merging? with X amount remaining? I just see it as the value of the company was increased by at least 30%. As far as growing pains, there were no layoffs or dramatic cuts in the budget. I'd say that since most company's have a large slashing frenzy and that this one hasn't, that things are going smoother than expected. (not to meantion growing FAST)
