Len-

I have no idea how much Anschutz has reduced his stake. I saw mention of it in the latest WIRED Magazine in their portfolio section. I do not see cause for alarm as QWST seems to be rolling out their business plan just fine.

Qwest bought LCI. LCI had a larger capitalization than Qwest.
This implies that Anschutz's initial holdings of 85% would be
reduced accordingly.

The referenced site a few messages ago explains what Anchutz has done.

His position is not actually reduced at all, but by putting some of it into a trust, he allows the company a much greater freedom to conduct business. Wired should know that, it sounds like they're using it as an excuse, but I can't figure out why.

It's great to see the stock move up to levels that are higher then it was at when the latest analyst downgraded it.
