DENVER (AP) - Qwest Communications International Inc. said Monday it will file comments at the Federal Communications Commission, opposing the $16 billion acquisition of AT&T Corp. by SBC Communications Inc.
Qwest, which is locked in a bidding war with Verizon Communications Inc. for long-distance company MCI Inc., said the SBC-AT&T merger "would constitute a significant setback to federal and state policymakers' efforts to bring about competition in the telecommunications industry."
In a statement, the company said the "mega-merger" would harm both retail and wholesale customers through higher prices, reduced service quality and less choice and innovation.
