"Bozich said several hundred ISPs which resell Qwest's DSL service to their customers won't be affected by the Microsoft deal." So, in the case of ISPs like Real-Time, VISI, Sound, etc, they don't actually resell the DSL line, just the access. Will those of us who pay Qwest for our physical DSL line and a non-Qwest ISP for our access be screwed by this? Will they put Microsoft in direct control of the cloud, or just dealing out the IP addresses?
