What about Pacific Bell's conviction for fraud? Shouldn't that have been mentioned? -Richard Peterson

Pre-divestiture share ownership of Pacific Telephone
Pacific Telephone was not a wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T. Minority shareholders were first bought out in order to divest it. I am not sure of the exact details, which is why I didn't edit this into the article. Jim 23:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Split this article?...
This pages really should be split into either 3 (Pacific Telesis, Pacific Bell, and Nevada Bell), or 2 (Pacific Telesis and Pacific Bell/Nevada Bell as Nevada Bell is a subsidiary of Pacific Bell). Pacific Bell redirects to this page, which then shows in the info box as being 'defunct' while Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell are still very much alive as subsidiaries of AT&T.

Transfer of ownership
On January 1, 1984 AT&T transferred its 100% interest in the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company to Pacific Telesis Group. On January 2, 1984 the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company Transferred its 100% ownership of the Bell Telephone Company of Nevada to Pacific Telesis Group. On that same date Pacific Telesis renamed Pacific Telephone the Pacific Bell Telephone Company and renamed Bell of Nevada the Bell Telephone Company of Nevada. Thus Nevada Bell was no longer a subsidiary of Pacific Bell as it had been under the Bell System days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.221.93.180 (talk) 01:00, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
