Bell System

Bell System

Before AT&T was broken up in 1984 by court order, the Bell System referred to AT&T and all the Bell Telephone companies which were part of it, but had separate names to provide a regional flavor. The Bell name, of course, came from Alexander Graham Bell. See Divestiture and RBOC.

Now An Antique
As the telephone company grew to be the largest corporation in the country, the Bell name became synonymous with telecommunications.
