         This  Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on January 12, 1998, as
amended by Amendment  No. 1 to the  Schedule  13D filed on February 9, 1998,  on
behalf  of Qwest  Communications  International  Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation
("QWEST"),  Qwest  1997-5  Acquisition  Corp.,  a Delaware  corporation  ("QWEST
SUBSIDIARY"),  Anschutz  Company,  a Delaware  corporation  ("ANSCO"),  Anschutz
Family Investment Company LLC, a Colorado limited liability company  ("ANSLLC"),
and  Philip F.  Anschutz  ("ANSCHUTZ"),  which  relates to the shares of Company
Common Stock (as defined below), amends Items 4, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D, as
amended.  Unless  otherwise  indicated,  all capitalized  terms used not defined
herein have the same meanings as set forth in the Schedule 13D, as amended.

ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

                  The information  previously furnished in response to this item
is amended to read as follows:

                  On  January  6,  1998,  Phoenix  Network,   Inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation  (the  "COMPANY"),   Qwest  and  Qwest  Subsidiary  entered  into  a
definitive  Agreement  and Plan of Merger  dated as of  December  31,  1997.  On
January 29, 1998,  the parties  amended and restated such  Agreement and Plan of
Merger in its entirety in order to (i) delete  certain  references to the shares
of Series I  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  par value  $.001 per share,  of the
Company,  all of which had been converted into shares of common stock, par value
$.001 per share,  of the Company  ("COMPANY  COMMON  STOCK"),  pursuant to their
terms, and certain requirements  relating thereto,  (ii) reflect the two-for-one
stock split announced on January 20, 1998 by Qwest's Board of Directors, payable
on February  24, 1998 as a dividend to the holders of record of shares of common
stock, par value $.01 per share, of Qwest ("QWEST COMMON STOCK"), on February 2,
1998 (the  "QWEST  STOCK  SPLIT")  and  (iii)  clarify  the terms of the  Merger
Consideration  (as defined in the Merger  Agreement).  On February 10, 1998, the
parties  further  amended and restated such  Agreement and Plan of Merger in its
entirety pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
as of December 31, 1997 (the "MERGER  AGREEMENT"),  to further clarify the terms
of the Merger  Consideration and to add certain covenants and closing conditions
relating to dissenting stockholders of the Company.

                  A copy  of the  Merger  Agreement  has  been  filed  with  the
Securities and Exchange  Commission (the  "COMMISSION") by Qwest as Exhibit A to
the Proxy  Statement/Prospectus  that is part of the  Registration  Statement on
Form S-4 (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") of Qwest relating to the

                               Page 7 of 12 Pages

registration by Qwest under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of shares of
Qwest Common Stock and certain contingent cash consideration  rights. The Merger
Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 1.
