Sprint History....OT Now that I think about it, Sprint merged with GTE several years ago. GTE was known as General Telephone back in 1969 as I worked for them for a time and remember the name and logo on the truck. General Telephone was the local telephone service provider for many smaller towns throughout the midwest and for large cities in Florida and California back then. I believe General Telephone was the 2nd largest local provider in the US after Bell Telephone. Not sure how long prior to the that the General Telephone name was used but they may have been something else for years and then merged with another company to become General Tel. United was also a local Telephone provider around the midwest in the seventies but had no affiliation with General Telephone. eezie
