Eh.

AT&T was broken up once.

Why wouldn't they do the same shit again?

It'd be hilarious if they went in to CNN and cleaned out all the liberals, disinfected the place and made a Conservative News Network.


The SJWs would just howl!  

Because the breakup was all a plan to get rid of Bell Labs and Western Electric before they sucked AT&T dry financially.  Both divisions were faced with large retirement costs coming due with the aging of its baby boomer workforce while electronics manufacturing in the US was becoming less and less profitable.  The handwriting was on the wall for the end of the US electronics industry and both were going to be unbearable drags to AT&T's bottom line by 2001.

Since the breakup, Bell Labs ended up being owned by several corporations and is currently a part of Nokia.  Western Electric rebranded as Lucent, has shrunk dramatically and ultimately the remains were acquired by Alcatel.

Here is a copy and paste from the new WikiLeaks #16 dump about AT&T....

John Podesta met with CEO of AT&T,

John
I look forward to visiting with you. I would love to give Sec Clinton an opportunity to address the CEO community in whatever manner is comfortable to her. Let me know a convenient time, and I will coordinate a call with your office.

Safe travels.
Randall

TEXTING & DRIVING ... It can wait.
