  9.  @m101ist  When it became Lucent and split from AT&T, it was downhill from then on...Bell Labs disappeared, so did Lucent, stock nose dived from the $80's to about $3 and never recovered alcatel bought them, on the cheap, and probably picked a few good things left, and shut everything else down. But when i twas all AT&T, they did have a stranglehold on communications, so they where broken up, and things in tech moved along, with a lot more choices...and improvements due to competition, but it's funny cus now there is basically Verizon and one other that now control all cell phone stuff, it goes in circles.
