Qwest refiles FCC petition for deregulation

QWEST REFILES FCC PETITION FOR DEREGULATION
[SOURCE: Denver Post, AUTHOR: Andy Vuong]
Denver-based Qwest has refiled a petition seeking to lift pricing restrictions on broadband services it sells to competitors and large businesses. Qwest is asking federal regulators for an expedited review because the new application is identical to the one the company filed in June and withdrew late Tuesday. Shirley Bloomfield, senior vice president of Qwest federal relations, said the company withdrew the original petition because "it just became very clear that Qwest was not going to get all of the relief that we were looking for" as the deadline approached for regulators to rule. Qwest is hoping the Federal Communications Commission will review the new petition, filed late Wednesday, when it rules on a similar request by AT&T next month.
