Re: Not Fired Yet? Incorrect. AT&T Corp. (1984-2005) went byebye in 2005. Remember.. SBC Communications bought AT&T Corp.(1984 to 2005) and renamed itself AT&T, Inc. (not AT&T Corporation)
This was done so all the laws that governed AT&T Corp (1984 to 2005) went away. AT&T (2005 to today) is an entirely different company, legally, since it was formerly SBC.
Of course one could argue that since SBC Communications was a combined company of Ameritech, Pacific Bell, Northwestern Bell, and other Baby Bells that were RBOC's of AT&T (Pre-1984), its still the same company. But legally its not.
Aaaaand of course this for AT&T landline service, I haven't even scratched the surface of AT&T, the wireless company, which was originally was Cingular, a joint effort between SBC and BellSouth. 
The Colbert Report had a fun play on with this a few years ago..
