		Pacific Telesis Group was one of the seven Regional Bell Operating Companies created after the 1984 breakup of ATandT as a holding company for Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell.
		Pacific Telesis is commmonly known more as "PacTel", with Pacific Bell more commonly known as "PacBell".
		In 1997, Pacific Telesis Group was acquired by SBC Communications, and although the Pacific Telesis corporate name disappeared fairly quickly, SBC continued to operate the local telephone companies as separate until September 2001, when SBC renamed the telephone companies "SBC Pacific Bell" and "SBC Nevada Bell".

		When Pacific Telesis Group's board members announced last April that they were formally launching a study to determine whether a breakup of the company would be advantageous, the industry was all ears.
		For operating company Pacific Bell, the only clearly good news is that the company will be able to obtain licenses for personal communication services within its operating territories, something the Federal Communications Commission probably would not have permitted if the cellular properties were still part of Pacific Telesis Group.
		Pacific Telesis Group Chairman Sam Ginn and other senior company executives said the spinoff of wireless properties and the formation of a new company will not require the approval of either U.S. District Judge Harold Greene or the California Public Utilities Commission.

	New Probe:Hubble's Secret China Deal!
		SAN FRANCISCO DESK - The California based Pacific Telesis Group [Computers, Communications, Telecommunications] announced over the week-end that in 1994 when they hired Webster Hubbell to be one of the communication firm's private advisors on Clinton's telecommunications legislation, that he was a paid advisor to the corporate board of their toughest competing telephone company, Sprint.
		At Pacific Telesis, high-ranking employees acknowledged that Hubbell continued to receive his paycheck even though the telephone company never saw Hubbell in the Washington office during the 10 months he received a monthly retainer from the company.
		Bill Brittingham of Pacific Telesis said on Friday that officials in Washington had no idea that Hubbell had gone to work for Sprint while he was employed by Pacific Telesis from July 1994 to May 1995.

		"Pacific Telesis Group's [traditional] telephone assets faced one of the most difficult regulatory environments in the country, and the bulk of senior management went with [CEO] Sam Ginn to AirTouch," said ING Baring Furman Selz financial analyst Fred Moran.

	Competition (John Higdon)
		It is hard to shed crocodile tears for Pacific Telesis, who prints full page ads crying about how it is prohibited from offering all sorts of space age services, when it is operating a regulated monopoly that is quaranteed to make a specific rate of return.
		If Pacific Telesis wants so badly to compete in the equipment and information services markets, then perhaps it could sell Pacific Bell to a group of investors whose purpose would be to run the best regulated monopoly it could.
		Pacific Telesis is smart enough to juggle the books to the point that it "never" exceeds that 13% cap on rate of return.
