Although Qwest’s network planning department was responsible for determining what capacity was needed to expand or develop Qwest’s fiber-optic network, Qwest’s IRU salespeople did not generally consult with the network planning department before purchasing assets in a swap. In those few instances when Qwest’s network planning department was consulted, it recommended against the purchase of capacity because Qwest had little or no need for the IRU. For example, prior to the purchase of a large amount of fiber from Enron in a third-quarter 2001 swap, in which Qwest recognized $85.5 million in revenue on the sale, Qwest’s network planning group allegedly made it clear that the Qwest network had no need for the majority of Enron’s fiber route and other assets.
