AT&T divestiture reshapes Bell system in 1980s overhaul
The article outlines the planned AT&T divestiture to split the company into seven regional units with Bell South as a holding firm. Southern Bell will serve South Carolina residents while local exchanges and long distance services shift under new regional structures. The move follows antitrust actions and aims for completion on January 1 1984 with Bell name usage restricted to holdings.
