Granted, he's been convicted of insider trading and may be a biased source, but I'd say it's a good indicator that Qwest isn't named as a defendant in the EFF suits.

T-mobile issued a similar statement, that they did not participate and did not turn over any records. No mention of losing contracts over it. Hell, maybe AT&T wants to buy T-Mobile to ensure everyone gets spied on equally. Look for an attempt to buy Qwest next. :)
