The End
of an Era - A New Beginning (December 31, 1983)
"The
Bell System as we have known it will exist only in
our memories and in the
history books."

The Bell System provided
what was by all accounts the best telephone service in the world.
Could the year 2004 mark the beginning of a NEW BELL SYSTEM?
Charlie
Stanley, an AT&T employee who was born in the year the Bell System died, created
a hoax web page of what he envisions as a new Bell System. To see his
creation, click

Thanks Charlie for your addition to this website! |

Many years before the US Government destroyed the Bell System there was a "Plot
to Bury the Bell System". Of course the advertisement was about
burying cable and not about a plot on the part of the US Government to "bury"
the Bell System! But one wonders if there was some double-meaning intended in that
ad? |
