Qwest has launched a new generation of interactive retail kiosks that allow consumers to test Qwest services via 11 new interactive kiosks in shopping centers in Colorado, Iowa, North Dakota, Washington and Arizona. It plans to open 31 additional locations across the company's 14-state region.

All of the residential and small-business products that Qwest offers, including, voice, high-speed, fiber-optic DirectTV and Verizon Wireless are available at the Qwest kiosks. The goal of Qwest's new retail strategy is to let consumers experience the very broad set of products and services Qwest offers, and see how these services can be mixed and matched to suit their lifestyles at home and on the go.

"Qwest offers a product set that provides the means to connect people to what's most important in their lives, at home and on the go," said Jim Vogel, vice president at Qwest. "The new Qwest kiosks provide a setting to show consumers how the right mix of products and services available through Qwest - high-speed Internet, Verizon Wireless, video and voice - can work together to benefit them in ways they never imagined.

"At the kiosks customers can experience how combining services like Qwest High-Speed Internet and DIRECTV service available through Qwest, provides access to DIRECTV on Demand with more than 4,000 programming titles, and enables customers to share photos, music and videos by sending them from their home computers to their big-screen TVs. In addition to multimedia demos, customers can get their hands on entertainment and games, connectivity solutions that enable new and innovative home phone functionality, Internet-based home monitoring services, business productivity devices and more.
