Item 8.01. Other Events.

Qwest Communications International Inc. (“Qwest” or the “Company” or “we” or “us” or “our”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to present certain historical financial information taking into account a recent change to our segments. During the first quarter of 2008, our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) began to manage our business using different information than he was using previously. We changed our segments accordingly. Our new segments are business markets, mass markets and wholesale markets. Our CODM regularly reviews information for each of our segments to evaluate performance and to allocate resources. The attached discussions of segment results reflect the way we now report our operating results to our CODM. To reflect the impact this change would have had if it had been implemented in prior periods and to aid the understanding of our future filings, we have included as Exhibit 99.1 our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, using the segment presentation that we are using going forward.

We centrally manage certain revenue and expenses (such as: revenue from Universal Service Fund surcharges and the subleasing of space in our office buildings; and expenses for finance, computer systems development and support, real estate related to office buildings, legal and human resources, severance costs and pension and post-retirement benefits costs for all employees and retirees). Consequently, this revenue and these expenses are not assigned to any of our segments. We also evaluate depreciation, amortization, impairment charges, interest expense and interest income on a total company basis because we do not allocate assets or debt to specific segments. As a result, these items, along with other non-operating income or expense, are not assigned to any segment. Therefore, the segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations these segments would have achieved had they operated as stand-alone entities during the periods presented. Also, because this revenue and some of these expenses were allocated to our previous segments, segment income presented in this Current Report on Form 8-K is not comparable to segment income presented in our 2007 Form 10-K. This change had no impact on total revenue, total operating expenses or net income for any period.

This Current Report on Form 8-K reports only the change described above and is filed for informational purposes only. We have not modified or updated any other disclosures presented in our 2007 Form 10-K, as updated by our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 4, 2008. Accordingly, this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with our 2007 Form 10-K, as updated by our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 4, 2008.

Forward Looking Statements Warning

This filing may contain projections and other forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements may differ materially from actual future events or results. Readers are referred to the documents filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the most recent reports which identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: access line losses due to increased competition, including from technology substitution of our access lines with wireless and cable alternatives, among others; our substantial indebtedness, and our inability to complete any efforts to further de-lever our balance sheet; adverse results of increased review and scrutiny by media and others (including any internal analyses) of financial reporting issues and practices or otherwise; rapid and significant changes in technology and markets; any adverse developments in commercial disputes or legal proceedings; potential fluctuations in quarterly results; volatility of our stock price; intense competition in the markets in which we compete including the effects of consolidation in our industry; changes in demand for our products and services; acceleration of the deployment of advanced new services, such as broadband data, wireless and video services, which could require substantial expenditure of financial and other resources in excess of contemplated levels; higher than anticipated employee levels, capital expenditures and operating expenses; adverse changes in the regulatory or legislative environment affecting our business; changes in the outcome of future events from the assumed outcome included in our significant accounting policies; and our ability to utilize net operating losses in projected amounts.
