--------------------------------------------------------------------- The Evening Bridge - May 03, 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP STORY - Qwest, which on Monday lost out to Verizon during the hotly-contested bidding for MCI, reported today that for the first quarter it had net income of $57 million, an improvement from a $310 million loss reported for the same three-month period in 2004. Net income got the boost thanks to the sale of wireless assets to Verizon. First quarter revenues were $3.45 billion.
