Ma Bell never "broke up," as you say. They simply reorganized through a process of multiple cell divisions and took the next eleven years to draft the Telecom Act of 96 from different vantage points throughout the states. In this way each of the alleged spin-outs could better address their local markets' regulatory agencies, without presenting the specter of a confederacy. So what if the center of gravity from an equities perspective didn't follow. It's the cultural aspect that influences the perpetuation of monopolistic acceptance and tolerance that counts.
