| | Stentor, Bell Canada, Independents - Some History |
 | | In 1971, Bell Canada and NECO merged their RandD facilities in a new organization, Bell Northern Research (BNR). |
 | | This ended the close relationship between ATandT and Bell Canada which had been in existence for close to 100 years. |
 | | In 1983, Bell Canada, NECO and BNR were placed under the holding company, Bell Canada Enterprises, now known as BCE Inc. The Atlantic province telcos are now owned by holding companies, which BCE owns stock in, including Bruncor (which owns NBTel), MTandT in Nova Scotia, and NewTel (formerly Newfoundland Telephone). |
