except that Qwest’s wireless is not very good. I can go 2 miles from their storefront in my hometown and barely have a signal. They don’t charge for roaming, but that’s because they have hardly any towers. To remain a viable wireless company, they’d have to invest some serious capital, and I don’t think they have it. They’re going to go with their referral and vendor fees from Verizon.

I suspect that by the time the deadline for the switchover happens, I will no longer even be a Qwest landline customer. The local cable company is offering some very good deals with 24 month contracts for home phone.

Qwest HAS a wireless division, which they are in the process of transferring to Verizon. The migration deadline keeps getting postponed (right now it’s sometime this coming fall), so I, for one, still have Qwest wireless service at the present time. If your post is correct, perhaps they should be trying to back out of this deal altogether?

Any company that relies mostly on land lines for profits WILL go under in the next 5-10 years or so. Simple fact. In the next decade, it will be a cable/wireless world.
