I guess they completely forgot AT&T was a government enforced and protected monopoly. The government did not create the AT&T monopoly, In the beginning telephone competed with telegraph. It is interesting conjecture that if the telegraph were free to compete it would have emphasised it's on-off nature to bring digital control devices into the market decades earlier.
