Divisions
AT&T, prior to its merger with SBC Communications, had three core companies:
- AT&T Alascom
- AT&T Communications
- AT&T Laboratories
AT&T Alascom continues to sell service in Alaska. AT&T Communications was renamed AT&T Communications - East, Inc. and sold long distance telephone service and operated as a CLEC outside of the borders of the Bell Operating Companies that AT&T owns. It has now been absorbed into AT&T Corp. but its 23 subsidiaries still exist. AT&T Laboratories has been integrated into AT&T Labs, formerly named SBC Laboratories.
