*According to this [http://www.sbc.com/Common/files/pdf/logo_evolution_factsheet.pdf PDF file], 1885 is when the AT&T was formed as a subsidary to the American Bell Telephone Co. In 1984, AT&T was broken up into baby bells which contain Southwestern Bell (later became SBC when it acquired a couple of other former baby bells). I think the reason why Wikipedia is listing it as 1877 because of the original parent company of AT&T was founded in that year. --[[User:J. Nguyen|J. Nguyen]] 01:01, 23 November 2005 (UTC) |

The article refers to '''AT&T Inc'''. Shouldn't the title correspond with that? --[[User:Akhristov|Akhristov]] 22:48, 24 November 2005 (UTC) |

I have seen various dates for founding of the current AT&T - 2005, 1984, 1885, and 1877. Which is it?
- According to this PDF file, 1885 is when the AT&T was formed as a subsidary to the American Bell Telephone Co. In 1984, AT&T was broken up into baby bells which contain Southwestern Bell (later became SBC when it acquired a couple of other former baby bells). I think the reason why Wikipedia is listing it as 1877 because of the original parent company of AT&T was founded in that year. --J. Nguyen 01:01, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
