The Telecommunications Act triggered dramatic changes in the competitive landscape. SBC Communications Inc. established itself as a global communications provider by acquiring Pacific Telesis Group (1997), Southern New England Telecommunications (1998) and Ameritech Corp. (1999). In 2005, SBC Communications Inc. acquired AT&T Corp., creating the new AT&T. With the merger of AT&T and BellSouth in 2006, and the consolidated ownership of Cingular Wireless and YELLOWPAGES.COM, AT&T is positioned to lead our industry in one of its most significant transformations since the first telephone more than 130 years ago. One of AT&T’s strengths is there is their Broadband service because they are the nation’s largest broadband provider. They provide good high speed internet which has a lot of good features unlimited email and photo storage, 1.5 megabytes per second downstream and above, internet radio, security tools, web cam capabilities, free WIFI and 24/7 technical support.

I could see maybe five or ten years down the line AT&T will still be the top phone service, but maybe someday someone will come out with a new telephone service that will top the industry. It’s possible that their competitors could be the next big service, anything can happen but I still see AT&T at the top for a long
