AT&T Corporation (Organization) AKA Ma Bell
AT&T Corporation
1885 AD - 1925 AD
AKA Ma Bell
During the Bell System's long history, AT&T was at times the world's largest telephone company, the world's largest cable television operator, and a regulated monopoly.
At its peak in the 1950s and 1960s, it employed one million people and its revenue ranged between US$3 billion in 1950 ($36.7 billion in present-day terms) and $12 billion in 1966 ($104 billion in present-day terms).
In 2005, AT&T was purchased by Baby Bell and former subsidiary SBC Communications for more than $16 billion ($22.2 billion in present-day terms).
SBC then changed its name to AT&T Inc. Today, AT&T Corporation continues to exist as the long distance subsidiary of AT&T Inc., and its name occasionally shows up in AT&T press releases.
