The AT&T you know today is actually the scummy wireless company that used to be called Cingular.
During the cell phone boom of early 2000s, Cingular purchased everything AT&T wireless related, including all the Bells. Then took on the name, as it was more globally recognized than Cingular.
Ma Bell - got ill communication
That’s not Ma Bell. Ma Bell died years ago when SW Bell and BellSouth took over AT&T.
Sw bell and bell South took over ma bell, yes.
