AT&T agreed in Jan 1982 to break up its holdings. In Aug 1982, the U. S.
District Court-District of Columbia, entered a consent decree requiring
AT&T to divest itself of portions of its operations.

Justice and approved by the U. S. Supreme Court in Feb 1983. In Dec

compliance with the divestiture order. The plan was approved by the
court in Aug 1983
The divestiture completed on Jan 1 1984, was accomplished by the
reorganization of the 22 principal AT&T Bell System Telephone Company
