I believe that Qwest is very well positioned in the new world of telecom. However, I do have a major concern about the way they have sold off substantial chunks of their network to competitors. I realize that it help them build this network without huge outlays of debt, but it also has helped companies such as Frontier and GTE move years ahead of where they would have been if Qwest didn't sell fiber to them.

GTE bought 24 dark fibers along the QWST network. at present QWST is pulling 96 fibers, but their conduit capacity allows for up to 960 total fibers. so for now, yes, 25% give or take. in the future though GTE's fiber holdings shrink to around 2.5% of the total plant.
