Qwest IPTV Stalled

Lightreading has published a good summary of Qwest's IPTV status at

http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=120059

Qwest was one of the first major IPTV deployments six or seven years ago with VDSL deployments in Phoenix, AZ and near Denver, CO. Other than some expansion of these systems, it has not done anything more since Nacchio left Qwest.

It looks like Qwest is still stalled. It will have to commit to VDSL or fiber to have a viable broadband IPTV offering. I don't think it is ready to do that.
