Ma Bell coming back together piece by piece
AT&T to Buy BellSouth, Creating Telecom Giant - New York Times
SBC, er now AT&T, is going to purchase the 3rd largest baby bell - Bell South. This is going to be a massive telecom giant, spanning most of the areas of the country. It had been rumored for some time when the 2 companies came together to create Cingular Wireless, which will now become AT&T Wireless, which Cingular happened to buy from the original AT&T a couple of years ago.
Next move will be taken by Verizon in response, but I don't know what could be left. Nobody wants Qwest (and for a good reason).
