I think QWST and GBLX will team up on something but I think it's premature. GBLX keeps going up. No chance to get it lower. I wouldn't chase anything with the Dow pushing 10000. Correction will happen.

I also, for the hell of it, do not expect a split for a while. June ?

they partnered a year ago:

Message 3982936

Qwest Communications International Inc. and Global Crossing Ltd. today announced an agreement to exchange capacity between Europe and the United States utilizing both companies' state-of-the-art networks -- Qwest's Macro Capacity(SM) Fiber Network and Global Crossing's Atlantic Crossing ("AC-1") subsea fiber optics cable system. The agreement also provides for Qwest to obtain capacity through Global Crossing's planned Pacific Crossing subsea cable system ("PC-1"), linking the U.S. and Asia.

Scotsman,

Some info on GBLX.

Their plan is to offer access over their undersea cable (to Europe now) without going through the traditional telco bureaucracy. Qwest is providing part of their terrestrial cable access.

Also they plan the largest terrestrial European network and undersea cable service to South America and Asia by early 2000.

I too am waiting for the price to come down, but it just keeps going up.
