This is a very UNFAIR disadvantage for Qwest and smacks square into the faceof anti-competi tion. Why should any business be have its hands tied behind their backswhile the competi tion is allowed to freely race forward?If Qwest is regulated for the sake of "competition " then shouldn t the wireless companlesALSO be regulated? Hmmmmm.
Think about it - and very seriously. Please APPROVE Qwest' s request

I hope you take what I have to say into consideration. I haveseen a dramatic increase in the amount of people canceling their landlines and only usingcell phones. I would say of my friends have done so. Al though a landline is idealfor most people , consumers are preferring to do business wi th cell phone providersindependent high speed Internet companies , and other local telephone al ternati ves insteadof accepting Qwest' s regulated higher prices determined by the PUC.I am grateful for the regulation that has played an importantand service protection to me in the past.

From what I understand the Commission will continue to regulate Qwest' s service quality,
customer relations rules , deposi t and disconnection policies and handle customer relations
disputes which can t be resolved directly wi th the Qwest if the pricing regulation approved. This is wonderful; in fact I appreciate the PUC' s role for the improvement in

There are many Qwest employees with families in Idaho who count on their jobs forsupport. We need the opprotuni ty to compete wi th the cell phone/ al ternate providers tomaintain our customer base. Please ensure that all companies are guided by the samerules, so we may fairly compete in the marketplace.Thank you.Transaction ID: 4221651.Referred by: http: / /www. puc. s tate. id. us scripts /polyform. dll/ ipuc

Hickory Hill Ci ty: BoiseState: IdahoZIP: 83713HomeTelephone: 208-322-8255E-Mail: pvruebel~cableone. netCompany: Qwestmailinglist _yes _no: yesCommentdescription: I believe traditional land line telephone companies , such as Qwesthave competi tion for local residence and small business telephone service from cell phoneproviders. A cell phone company is able to package a very enticing group of servicesincluding long distance any way they like. Qwest is losing land line business to cellproviders daily. This is unfair to companies like Qwest who must gain regulatory approvalbefore they can offer a competing land line service. Times have changes , the IPUC needsto recognize this. In larger service areas , Qwest should be unregulated to be able compete wi th unregulated cell companies.Transaction ID: 4221631.
