The reason for the breakup is that T's competitors (RBOC, GTE, MCI, Worldcom, Sprint, British Telecom, . . .) do not want to buy equipment from one of their largest competitors. LU can now sell to anyone without them feeling as if they are helping the enemy. It also made it a pure tech/equipment play. It has opened them to a more competitive/agressive management style and unlocked some hidden value(the rest has come from the new sales, merger, and split.) Bruce
