Bell breakup was one of the biggest stimulus of technology in modern
times. It was also the ruination of one of the most reliable pieces of
technology of modern times. On the scales of history it will be a huge
success by itself. Considering the re-creation of at*t into a nasty
little company with big teeth, it's a horrible result...

That's truly remarkable when you consider just how colossal Google is.
Sales are expected to top $88.5 billion this year and exceed $100

So, that may take awhile there Robert.
Or they'll become Weyland-Yutani or Umbrella.
What do you think about pre-breakup AT&T? Was the Bell system
divestiture wrong?
