They had exactly the same opportunity to confront the Justice Department
as IBM did, but they apparently thought it would be a better course to
break up the company to permit diversification into the computer arena.

AT&T's capitulation surprised everyone including the judge handling
the proceeding.

History shows it was a bad choice in many ways. IBM has had their problems,
but continues as an enterprise.
