Qwest CEO Webcast Goes Pfzzt!

Phone Problem Prevents Livestream Of Chairman's Remarks

A bad phone line prevented a planned Webcast of Qwest Communications Chairman Joseph Nacchio from occurring Tuesday morning.

Nacchio was addressing a national technology and communications conference sponsored by Piper Jaffray at the World Trade Center in Boston.

Qwest promoted the event on its Web site and even sent news releases to the media with the location of the RealPlayer Webcast.

But those who tried to tune in were disappointed.

The Webcast didn't work.

A Qwest spokesman blames the glitch on a problem at Piper Jaffray's end. A spokesman for Piper Jaffray said that the phone lines in the banquet room weren't working properly and that prevented the keynote address at the telecommunications conference from being livestreamed.

The annual U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Communications Conference features the country's most top public and private emerging growth and next-generation communications companies.

Qwest touts itself as a leader in Internet-based data, voice, image and multimedia communications, with revenues of $19 billion a year and more than 30 million customers.
