Did Carter bust up the first ma Bell? I always thought it was a mistake to break them up. Their labs were producing the greatest innovations in the world. So, if it were Carter, it would make sense that he wanted to kill a productive USA company. Like Clinton's and the Democrats attempt at taking down Microsoft.

Nah Peanut didn't do this one. It was Judge Green who did the deed.

Breaking up AT&T was a smart move. Corporate monopolies have all the bad features of government-run industry, for the same reasons - no competitive spirit. The only thing they lack is criminalization of their competitors.

Long distance prices didn't start falling until the breakup of At&T.
