<< In the long run, lvlt will standout as a major carrier in the us while qwst will continue to be a bandwidth reseller. anybody in the business understands that the revenue source for carriers from selling services is much greater than selling bandwith. >>

Please define "carrier", "selling services", and "selling bandwidth" as you used them in your post. I welcome your comparison of QWST's and LVLT's respective offerings.

Your post betrays major ignorance of QWST's businesses. Here's a good place to start digging: qwest.com.

I did the opposite of you and invested in Qwest over LVLT, but this was not because I thought LVLT was not a good investment. At the current time, I think that Qwest is farther along in its developement. Thus it would be more attactive to customers and investors, such as BLS, AOL, and MSFT.

I plan to roll into LVLT later once its initial start up problems are behind it and the profit picture clears up. It should be most excellent.
