A Walk Through the Mind
Ma Bell
I have a change of format today, as I've done too much research on AT&T, only to realize it is a massive undertaking of how much history this company has. I have decided to focus in on their monopolistic history from different angles in hopes we may walk away with a bit more information, at one level or another, than what we had when we went in.
