Qwest Communications
International Inc. Monday secured a $1 billion credit line to help finance the continued construction
of its nationwide fiber-optic network and to expand overseas.
Bank of America is the lead bank with First Union Corp.,
Bank of New York Co. and Citibank also participating.
Qwest plans to provide voice and high-speed Internet and data
services over its network that is expected to stretch across 18,815 miles. The
network is slated for finalization in the middle of 1999 and will provide service to 130 U.S. cities.
"This new line of credit gives us greater financial
flexibility to support our rapid growth -- enhancing Qwest's
first-to-market speed and keeping the company and its services on
the leading edge of demand," said Robert Woodruff, Qwest's executive
vice president of finance and chief financial officer.
