Abstract
Describes the evolution of Qwest from a small fiber-optic construction firm in 1996 to a global telecommunications giant in 2001. Focuses on Qwest''s pivotal acquisition of ''Baby Bell'' US West, a regional Bell operating company many times Qwest''s size. Discusses the rationale for the merger and its aftermath, including the cultural challenge of integrating a scrappy start-up with a bureaucratic, traditional firm.
