As a result of an antitrust action entered against American
Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) by the Department of Justice,
AT&T agreed in Jan 1982 to break up its holdings. In Aug 1982, the U. S.
District Court-District of Columbia, entered a consent decree requiring
AT&T to divest itself of portions of its operations.
The operations affected consisted of exchange telecommunications,
exchange access functions, printed directory services and cellular radio

Communications Inc, AT&T Technologies Inc, Bell Telephone Laboratories
Incorporated, AT&T Information Systems Inc, AT&T International Inc and

with modifications, was agreed to by AT&T and the U. S. Department of
Justice and approved by the U. S. Supreme Court in Feb 1983. In Dec

compliance with the divestiture order. The plan was approved by the
court in Aug 1983
The divestiture completed on Jan 1 1984, was accomplished by the
reorganization of the 22 principal AT&T Bell System Telephone Company
