Zeby reakcia na 30. vyrocie (bolo 1.1.1984), ked protimonopolny urad USA rozdelil AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph) na osem kapitalovo nezavsilychj spolocnosti a celkom 22 dcerskcyh spolocnosti so zakazom vzajomeneho obchodovaniaIn 1982, he announced that AT&T was going to break up into separate companies by 1984. It was the end of the road for Ma Bell.In the 1984 breakup, AT&T split into eight pieces as "Ma Bell" gave birth to seven "Baby Bells." The Baby Bells were seven companies made up of AT&T's 22 operating companies: Nynex, Bell Atlantic, Ameritech, BellSouth, US West, Pacific Telesis and Southwestern Bell. In the deal, AT&T kept its name, its long distance business, its manufacturing arm and Bell Labs. The Baby Bells appeared stuck with the least profitable parts of the Bell System: local service and the century-old copper wire network to carry it.http://money.howstuffworks.com/att4.htm...
Lessons from the AT&T break up, 30 years later
January 3, 2014 6:00 amThirty years ago, on the first day of 1984, the old U.S. telephone system broke apart. Based on Judge Harold Green’s Modified Final Judgement of 1982, AT&T on January 1 1984 became a long-distance company, while seven regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) took control of the nation’s local phone networks.The break up of the telephone monopoly was a big event. In retrospect, however, three parallel developments in communications loom larger. The Internet, mobile, and cable all disrupted and drove the communications world more than Washington policy.https://www.techpolicydaily.com/communications/lessons-at... ...
