The respect for Qwest is back, Notebaert responded. "I don't think you ever get done working on your reputation," so Qwest still has a lot of work to do, "but we've come a long way."
Notebaert went on to say that not every company in the telco group needs to be bought. But at the same time, he said, there is no doubt there is going to be further consolidation in the sector. When Cramer asked about the company's dividend prospects, Notebaert said that "as the year unfolds, we're going to look for further ways to reward our shareholders." Further, when asked about his retirement plans, the chief executive asked people to remember that when he retired in 2000, he made it only eight months before coming back. Cramer blessed picking up some Qwest. To view Cramer's interview with Richard Notebaert, please click here.Lightning Round
