Qwest-ionable assertion

In its editorial of Feb. 1, “End cable monopolies,” the Rocky says that the fact that Qwest gets hundreds of millions of dollars in government subsidies “has nothing to do with” the issue of whether Qwest should be allowed preferential treatment if it offers cable TV.
Why doesn’t it?
Qwest used these massive government handouts to build up its network — the same network it says it will upgrade to offer video service. And then Qwest has the nerve to say that, despite this government-subsidized network across the state, it can’t offer video service to all residents.
