USA: Qwest rejects bids for its long distance business and will retain the activity

[AP] Qwest Communications International Inc. says it is calling off the bidding for its long-distance business without finding a buyer.

In a statement Monday, the Denver-based telecommunications company said holding on to its long-distance network would deliver more value to shareholders than a sale.

The company did not say how much the bids it received were worth. But news reports last week indicated Qwest received bids far below the $2 billion to $3 billion the company wanted.
