Nothing to do with corporate Kool Ade that AT&T did an immense
amount of innovation long before they were broken up. You dont
get Nobel Prizes for reducing the cost of running exchanges.

If you are using innovation as your metric, Comcast basically decimated
AT&T here. Comcast offers gigabit fiber but AT&T only offers 6Mbps
Slowverse. Want TV from Slowverse? Here, nail this fugly dish up on your
roof.

What was being discussed was what innovation
AT&T did before it was broken up in 1982

Looks to me like the only innovations at American Telegraph are their
deceptive marketing lies.
