They're not the most robust of the old "baby Bells"; and there are competitors in almost every market for every service they offer. Subjecting their subscribers to gratuitous abuse by providing the RIAA with tenuous "evidence" won't go over well in the Rocky Mountain region, whose residents have a mean anti-authoritarian streak. The corrosive ripple effect on its corporate image would be big enough so that Qwest, if it were prudent, would have to weigh the negative impact of passive cooperation.<BR/><BR/>But that's a big "if."
