Just as I was ready to depart the Qwest Business Center at Denver International, a disturbing rumor: the telecom firm may disconnect its business center at the airport, since it isn't making money on high-speed Internet. (The free Wi-Fi mentioned in earlier Tech Blog entries has cut into Qwest's business, it appears.) The firm has reportedly been threatening to pull the plug; now, I'm told by a source, it may be curtains at the end of July.

There's just one bad element of that timing: the Democratic National Convention hits the mile-high city in August, and Net connections will be at a premium, even here at the airport. Perhaps they'll reconsider.
