		For the large amounts of traffic on land, both telegraph and telephone, which must be handled with certainty and a minimum of cost, the use of wires is necessary.
		The Commercial Cable Company had, and still has, an extensive program mapped out, but this, as in the case of some other programs of cable expansion, was somewhat retarded by the startling announcement that a new type of cable, capable of many times the carrying capacity of the old type, was being developed.

	Mattox Opinion No. JM-618
		This Decree was intended to accomplish two basic goals: (1) structural changes removing AT and T as the dominant supplier of local telephone service by requiring AT and T to divest itself of its Bell Operating Companies, and (2) restrictions to prevent cross-subsidization and to prevent discrimination against AT and T's competitors.
		You also indicate that the department chose AT and T, a regulated company, in the belief that no competitive bidding was necessary to continue long distance service with AT and T. You suggest that an automatic allocation by Southwestern Bell would violate the state's competitive bidding requirements.
		Moreover, paragraph 10.4 states that "[t]he specific telephone number[s] for which the primary [long distance carrier] is being designated must be listed" in the letter of agency.

	AMERICAN TELEPHONE and TELEGRAPH CO. v NEW YORK STATE DEPT. OF TAXATION AND FINANCE - Legal Case Documents
		BELLACOSA, J.: Prior to 1990, American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) included, as part of its New York taxable income, access fees which represented charges imposed by local telephone carriers at each end of a long distance intrastate telephone call.
		Long distance carriers, like AT&T, however, were not given a deduction for these pass-through transactions, and local telephone carriers were not required to report receipt of the access fees as part of their tax base.
		In 1990, the Legislature amended Tax Law §186-a by requiring local telephone carriers to include in their tax base the access service fees, and correspondingly permitted the long distance carriers to deduct those access fees from their income (Tax Law §186-a(2-a); L 1990, ch 190).
