Telephone Trivia

In the wake of SBC’s announcements over the past few days, I jokingly asked my wife if she could name the seven original Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs). She knew four, which stems from the fact her husband once edited a telecom magazine.

They are:

Bell Atlantic
Bell South
NYNEX
Ameritech
Southwestern Bell
Pacific Bell
US West

Try that for your next office trivia party.
