Background In 1913, the government established the Kingsbury Commitment, that said AT&T could act as a monopoly to provide universal service. This commitment was overturned in 1982, which resulted in the AT&T’s break up into seven smaller divisions. As the new AT&T began, they changed their concentration to their networks for wireless communications and broadband.
