Ohh how fast people forget about the problems that where the root cause of the Bell Break ups in the early 80's. Now we have AT&T that is working like mad dogs to make the BellSouth merger happen. Someone needs to go and give the FCC commissioners a history lesson. Sure it's a different world than it was 20 years ago but it makes me shiver to think about how it used to be.
Not surprising how easy people forget about the reasons the bells were broken up before. Heck when I spent several years selling long distance (MCI) back in the early 80's most people thought the words "Long Distance" and "AT&T" were the same I bet many of you have forgotten about the dial 1 selections you had to make then.
But it is funny how the AntiTrust suit of 1982 that broke away AT&T and the broke up the Bells has resulted in a Stronger AT&T that is now verged on buying one of them. Simply and utterly amazing! [News.com]
