South Central Bell
The South Central Bell Telephone Company is a Southern United States Internet/telephone network provider. It operates in Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee and (sections of) Louisiana.[1] It was created in July 1968 when the Southern Bell telephone company was divided and spun off.[1]
Beginning in 1992 the name South Central Bell was no longer used for corporate marketing although the SCB provider still exists.[1] Southern Bell and South Central Bell today do business as the "new" AT&T (or the American Telephone and Telegraph).[1] This is following a merger between SBC Communications and the original AT&T in 2006. Somewhere in the late 2000s (decade) or the 2010s the South Central Bell and Southern Bell names were brought back by the "new" AT&T.[1]
