Excuse me, but that changed long before divestiture. And I bet you still
publish your R&D in the technical journals, conference proceedings, etc.
Besides, AT&T wanted divestiture, since it removed the limitations put
on them w.r.t. non-telephone related business.
All in all, divestiture has been good for AT&T and not-so-good for
the public. And now I see that the old AT&T is starting to get back
together: four of the seven mini-Bells (Northwestern, Pacific, Mountain, etc.)
are merging into US West Communications. Apparently, some 2 year limitation
was imposed by the divestiture, which has now expired. How long will
it take before good old Ma Bell is back as one big happy family?
