Qwest Communications International Inc. is asking President-elect Barack Obamaand infrastructure in rural areas.
The Denver, Colo.-based telecom company pitched its proposal in a letter last week, suggesting that federal grants would help companies overcome high costs associated with building infrastructure in rural areas and generate jobs.
