Sounds like the same huge effort it takes to work with Qwest/Centurylink,
and in the long run we found it simply isn't worth it.  The few benefits of
working with an RBOC are countered by the many drawbacks of working with an
RBOC.

Also we recently acquired a half million minutes/mo from a company who was
tired of dealing with Qwest SIP.  They said the same thing I said above.

I suppose the point of what I'm saying is you should really think about
what you think you will gain from a relationship with them, and whether all
this is worth it ("all this" means now and how their attitude will affect
you forever).
