History and Foundation of AT&T Inc.
AT&T’s origins date back to 1875, when Alexander Graham Bell and his partners founded the Bell Telephone Company to commercialize the newly invented telephone. Within its first three years, the company expanded rapidly, covering much of the United States.
In 1885, the company was reorganized and renamed American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T), becoming the parent company of a network of regional operating companies.
Throughout the 20th century, AT&T dominated the U.S. telecommunications industry, employing nearly one million workers between the 1950s and 1960s. However, in 1982, following an antitrust ruling, AT&T was broken up into seven regional carriers—known as the “Baby Bells”—to foster competition within the sector.
During the 2000s, AT&T diversified and expanded through key acquisitions, including DIRECTV Group in 2014, strengthening its position in the entertainment industry, and Time Warner in 2016, broadening its footprint in media and digital content.
Between 2020 and 2024, AT&T underwent a major restructuring, emphasizing the expansion of 5G technology, cloud services, and strategic partnerships, reinforcing its role as a leading global player in connectivity and digital entertainment.
Today, AT&T continues to invest in innovation and global expansion, facing intense competition while striving to enhance customer experience through ongoing digital transformation.
