As a result, AT&T was shielded from competition and business pressure. It had the liberty to take however much time and money to do research and innovation in a non competitive environment. However, AT&T regulated monopoly ended in the early 1980s when changes in the telecommunications industry led to an “antitrust suit by the US government against AT&T.” As a result, AT&T and Bell system broke up into 8 companies.
