| abstract
| - AT&T can trace its origin back to the original Bell Telephone Company founded by Alexander Graham Bell after his invention of the telephone. One of that company's subsidiaries was the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T), established in 1885, which acquired the Bell Company on December 31, 1899 for legal reasons, leaving AT&T as the main company. AT&T established a network of subsidiaries in the United States and Canada that held a government-authorized phone service monopoly, formalized with the Kingsbury Commitment, throughout most of the twentieth century. This monopoly was known as the Bell System, and during this period, AT&T was also known by the nickname Ma Bell. For periods of time, the former AT&T was the world's largest phone company. Stanley Yelnats I had apparently done some business with them, as when his stolen chest was recovered in 2003 by Stanley Yelnats IV and Zero (Hector Zeroni), it was opened by Stanley Yelnats III, and as they inspected the stock forms within the chest, as well as a pile of gold treasures. Stanley Yelnats II held up a document and said, "AT&T!" By that time, the AT&T stock had most likely gone into the millions.
- AT&T was the telephone monopoly throughout the United States. It was formerly known as the Bell System but then bells started to be replaced with little piezoelectric squeaking things. AT&T was notorious for shoddy connections and contemptuous customer service. The Justice Department solved this problem with a court order breaking AT&T up into the "Baby Bells," the Regional Operating Companies that would immediately start wheeling and dealing to reassemble a shoddy and contemptuous monopoly. New York Bell had the upper hand in shoddiness; it ate New England Telephone and renamed itself NYNEX. Then it ate the others and renamed itself Verizon. Research-and-Development and certain other functions were put in a separate company, still known as AT&T, which immediately began to try to morph itself into exactly what it was before (big, shoddy, and contemptuous). As Americans began to realize that telephone service was never going to get better and abandoned it in favor of cell phones (a decision that had occurred to ten million Mexicans a decade earlier), AT&T, Verizon, and a couple of bit players would wrestle with one another to re-create the dial-up experience for a new generation of customers who didn't want it.
- AT&T sponsored a number of attractions at Disney theme parks over the years, including:
- At the end of the video telephone call between Marty McFly and Douglas J. Needles on October 21, 2015, an on-screen message appeared reading "THANK YOU FOR USING AT&T" — the text of which was also read out by a female announcer's voice. The call from Ito T. Fujitsu came through immediately after AT&T's on-screen message, but this acknowledgement did not reappear after the connection was cut off; the screen merely resumed showing changing images of famous works of art courtesy of The Art Channel. A video payphone bearing the AT&T logo was also present in Courthouse Square, where Marty Jr. was spotted at one point through a binocular card used by Emmett Brown.

- AT&T is a telecommunications conglomerate, best known for the telephone services, being the second largest provider of mobile telephone service and the largest provider of fixed telephone services, the company was originally known by the name Southwestern Bell Corporation, created in 1983. In 2016, a commercial advertising their wireless phone data plan features a man walking through a town, switching through television shows on his phone, as representations of the shows appear in the real world beside him. At one point he exits a bus and Big Bird can be seen sitting with a woman and two kids, watching Elmo on her tablet (in a clip from the season 40 theme sequence), as a short clip of "The People in Your Neighborhood," plays in the background. During the short scene, text that reads "Sesame Street on HBO," appears.
- AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) Is one of the largest telecommunications companies in the United States. The current company, which is based in San Antonio, Texas, was formed in 2005 by SBC Communications' purchase of its former parent company, AT&T Corp. As a part of the merger, SBC shed its name and took on the iconic AT&T moniker (originally American Telephone and Telegraph) and the famed T stock-trading symbol (for "Telephone"). AT&T Corp. provides voice, video, data, and Internet telecommunications and professional services to businesses, consumers, and government agencies. During its long history, AT&T has at times been the world's largest telephone company, the world's largest cable television operator, and a regulated monopoly. At its peak, it employed one million people and its revenue was roughly $300 billion annually in today's dollars (for comparison, Exxon's 2005 annual revenue was $371 billion). At the time of the merger with SBC, AT&T was headquartered in Bedminster, New Jersey.
- AT&T was formed in 1885 to connect the local Bell companies. Their logo read "The Bell System: AT&T and Associated Companies." Today, AT&T Inc. is the largest provider of local and long distance telephone services in the United States, and also sells digital subscriber line Internet access and digital television service. AT&T is the second largest provider of wireless service in the United States, with over 81.6 million wireless customers, and more than 150 million total customers. AT&T Inc. was formed in 1983 as SBC Communications Inc. In 2005, AT&T converted to its current form when it purchased the former "Ma Bell" AT&T Corporation. The newly merged company took on the iconic AT&T moniker and T stock-trading symbol (for "telephone"). The current AT&T includes eleven of the original Bell Operating Companies, and the original long distance division. While it reconstitutes much of the former Bell System, AT&T Inc. lacks the vertical integration of the historic AT&T Corp., which prompted United States v. AT&T, the antitrust suit that led to the breakup in 1984 (which was ultimately settled by the Modification of Final Judgment in 1982). The company is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
