Description: AT and T, Inc. is a holding company incorporated in Delaware in 1983 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas. ATand T is a provider of telecommunications services and products to consumers in the United States and to businesses and other telecommunication providers worldwide. The company, formerly known as SBC Communications Inc., was formed as one of several regional holding companies created to hold ATand T Corp.'s (ATTC) local telephone companies. On January 1, 1984, the company was spun-off from ATTC pursuant to an anti-trust consent decree, becoming an independent publicly traded telecommunications services provider operating in five southwestern states. Mergers with Pacific Telesis Group in 1997, Southern New England Telecommunications Corporation in 1998 and Ameritech Corporation in 1999 expanded the company's wireline operations into 13 states. In November 2005, the company merged with ATTC and the company changed its name from SBC Communications, Inc. to ATand T, Inc. In December 2006, the company merged with BellSouth Corporation, which expanded wireline operations in nine more states. The BellSouth acquisition resulted in a 100 percent ownership of ATand T Mobility, LLC and YellowPages.com. ATand T products and services include wireless communications, local exchange services, long-distance services, data/broadband and Internet services, video services, telecommunications equipment, managed networking and directory advertising and publishing.
