And now centurylink. Embarq was sprint was sprint-centel and was centel and was central telephone. They merged with century link to tey and survive. Try 6 years of same or less income and higher costs to keep your lec status and it happens.

I'm guessing you're right, the CLEC has some capacity problems. The customer at that end told me their mom+pop has changed hands 4 times in the last 2 years and now it is 'Embarq'. -Eric On Mar 16, 2010, at 6:16 PM, Tony Graziano wrote: > Nope. You got it.
