Years ago a Microsoft breakup was also once on the table, but it never happened.

I wouldn’t get too excited that regulators will follow through with this for Google either.

Specifically, it didn't happen because the supreme court made Bush Jr president and he killed it

Let's just say, the telcos didn't like being away from each other.

I'm unreasonably upset that They list it as Bellsouth rather than its original name, South Central Bell.
