Had the same thought myself. GG removed QWST because, he opined, that it was giving up further quest for telecosm ascendant technologies and preparing itself to be bought out. In this context, I wonder how USW's "purchase" of GBLX plays? Certainly, one of the premises to this deal is that the last, link for high speed, large data rate global transfers seems to be handservant to the notion of captive traffic, whether int'l long distance, intra-business communications links or net traffic generally. It this is the case, does it appear that Winnick's and Scanlon's original vision of the creation of the last, needed large bandwidth link for global traffic was flawed in that, as a business model unto itself, it wouldn't have been the killer business some had thought? I don't know. Regards. Liacos_samui
