So Qwest has upped their bid for MCI
I can see why Qwest is desperate for a deal with MCI, but I can't see where it would be a winner for MCI. Verizon has a much larger network and customer base compared with Qwest, and thus would make a decent rival to the possible SBC/ AT&T marriage.
However, going with the Qwest offer would in my opinion, be better for consumers. I say this because if Verizon wins, we may be left with just two dominant players. More competition leads to not just lower prices, but more inovations and rolling out of new and better features and products.
Let's see how this unfolds.
