AT@T Breakup in 1981

From the Paper:

"THE BREAK-UP OF AT&T IN 1981
Prior to the break up of AT&T, the telecommunications industry in the United States consisted of AT&T (the Bell System), and "many franchised, independent telephone companies" (Seelman, 1984, p. 16). Although franchised and independent telephone companies were in the telecommunications market in the United States prior to the break-up of AT&T, the Bell System controlled in excess of 80 percent of the telecommunications market.

The rapidly developing changes in the telecommunications environment provided a second strong motivation.."
