Qwest Hoodie / Sweatshirt
Represent a memorable chapter of communications history with this Qwest Hoodie / Sweatshirt. Founded in 1996 and renamed Qwest the following year, the Denver-based company pursued all-digital fiber infrastructure before becoming widely known for local telephone service, data, internet, DSL, and long-distance offerings. Its 2000 merger with US West tied the brand to communities across much of the West and Midwest. Whether you remember the service, worked in telecom, or collect corporate-era apparel, this design recognizes the Qwest name and its later transition to CenturyLink.
Qwest Communications International, Inc. was a U.S. telecommunications carrier founded in 1996 by Philip Anschutz. It began as Southern Pacific Telecommunications Company, building all-digital fiber-optic infrastructure along railroad lines owned by Southern Pacific Transportation Company to serve high-speed data and T1 customers. After Southern Pacific merged with Union Pacific in 1997, the telecom assets remained separate; the company was renamed Qwest and became publicly traded in June 1997. Qwest expanded through acquisitions including SuperNet in 1997, LCI in 1998, and Icon CMT and EUnet International in 1998. On June 30, 2000, Qwest merged with US West, bringing local telephone operations across 14 western and midwestern states into Qwest. Headquartered at 1801 California Street in Denver, Colorado, it offered voice, long-distance, DSL, data, Internet backbone, wireless and selected television services. CenturyLink announced its acquisition of Qwest on April 22, 2010; the merger closed April 1, 2011, and Qwest began doing business as CenturyLink in August 2011.
