Talk:Pacific Bell

Untitled
I'm not in California, but the company does business as SBC nationwide. The operating companies are legal entities with separate names, but for practical purposes they're just for clarifying regulatory issues.

 * Agreed. But SBC is the parent (formerly called Southwestern Bell, now called [but not the same as the original AT&T). This article is about the child. It was only called Pacific Bell from 1984 to 2002 (just 18 of its 107 year history. ChrisJBenson (talk) 03:19, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Pacific Telephone logo, 1969-1983
Was this logo design ever actually used? Looks more like a re-imaging using modern DTP software. Removing.

See this for an actual Pacific Telephone logo: http://www.friedmanarchives.com/Non-Gallery-Images-1/pages/Pacific%20Tele%20hone_001.htm Atarivideomusic (talk) 08:09, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

No U-Verse
I removed U-Verse from the list of Pacific Bell products. It was a Southwestern Bell product. The official corporate U-verse timeline shows that no part of its development, packaging, sale, or support was initiated at Pacific Bell. in fact the name Pacific Bell had already ceased to the company's name of record two years before the first announcement of the IPTV plans that became SBC U-Verse (renamed AT&T U-verse three weeks before launch). I can provide plenty more references, if needed. With thanks from ChrisJBenson (talk) 03:33, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Corporate leadership information missing
I was expecting more than just a history of mergers and acquisitions when I pulled up this article. I was hoping to find notable corporate leaders mentioned (and possibly linked) as well as information about what industry innovations (if any) the company might have been responsible for. Even if there were none, this could have been mentioned as well. Etamni &#124; &#9993; &#124; ✓ 06:17, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
