The Baby Bells Are Being Reintegrated

Have you noticed, it's now AT&T again? Somewhere a couple decades or so ago, they broke up the phone company. It was a monopoly. So, we no longer leased our phones. We had lots more options. The world got confusing. We were AT&T. Then Michigan Bell. Then Ameritech. Then SBC. (That's only the ones I remember.) Finally we're AT&T again. Now AT&T merges with Cingular. The old "Telephone" is back to being gigantic again, but with cable TV and Internet now. When they finally reacquire Taco Bell we should be able to get EVERYTHING on one bill. What convenience.
