Has Divestiture Worked? A 25th Anniversary Assessment of the Break Up of AT&T
March 6, 2009 at 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
NYU Warren Weaver Hall , New York
In 1984, AT&T, then the largest company in the U.S., was broken up because of the monopoly controls “Ma Bell” had over telecommunications. Known as “Divestiture”, we have reached the 25th anniversary of the AT&T breakup and it is time to look carefully and critically at the deregulation of telecommunications to evaluate the effectiveness of this important economic policy.
Open Infrastructure Alliance, (OIA) together with the Internet Society, (ISOC) New York chapter, is convening a series of panels to dialog on the deregulation of the telecommunications industry.
