The Regional Bell operating companies (RBOC) are the result of the United States antitrust action against AT&T in 1983. After the Modification of Final Judgment, the resulting Baby Bells were originally:
These companies have since merged, leaving only 4 regional telephone companies in the United States. After the 1984 breakup, part of AT&T's Bell Labs was split off into Bellcore, which would serve as an R&D and standards body for the seven Baby Bells.
In 2000, US West was merged into Qwest, a fiber optic company.
BellSouth is the only RBOC that remains as originally conceived, and is the only company that still carries the "Bell" name. BellSouth still uses the last Bell logo, designed in 1969.
Part of the mission given the RBOC by the city is to establish a separate and viable enterprise and to manage and to account for all of its income and expenses.
The city of Pasadena and the RBOC have been working diligently together to separate the financial accounts of the Rose Bowl from the city since the time that the RBOC took over that fiscal responsibility in July of 1999.
The RBOC shares the concern of the community, of the City Council, the city manager and the director of finance that the prior history of this fund be documented and presented, once and for all.
RBOC knew or ought to have known that the plaintiff, being an unsophisticated consumer and a person not possessed with technical knowledge concerning the operation of bank drafts would rely upon the reputation, integrity, and soundness of the banking system in his decision to purchase bank drafts.
RBOC knew or ought to have known (and concealed such knowledge) that the safety and security of its Bank Draft Services were inconsistent or contrary to the plaintiff’s expectations.
RBOC failed to bring to the attention of the plaintiff, or concealed, the material terms of how bank drafts are negotiated between banks and the liabilities of RBOC with respect to the time limits of challenging invalid endorsements.
