Interesting facts about the #T (AT&T Inc)

The history of AT&T began in 1877, when Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, founded the Bell Telephone Company. American Telephone and Telegraph Company or AT&T had been one of its subsidiaries since 1885. It was used to build and operate the first long-distance telephone network. In 1899, AT&T purchased Bell's assets to become the parent company. Through the 19th and most of the 20th centuries, AT&T had a monopoly on the US market.

In 1984, the main company lost its monopoly by creating regional subsidiaries and allowing them to be individual companies. However, it didn’t affect the strength of AT&T. As you know, the company still exists.

In 2005, SBC acquired AT&T for $16 billion. As a result, SBC became AT&T Inc. and earned the rights to the name and brand. However, the original 1885 AT&T still exists but as a long-distance phone subsidiary.
