		The term "Baby Bell" -- synonymous with RBOC, or Regional Bell Operating Company -- indicates that Bell Atlantic was one of the companies tracing its heritage to the Bell System, which was a common name for the organizational structure of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. (AT&T) prior to 1984.
		When it was formed, Bell Atlantic was based in Philadelphia and consisted of several telephone companies (Bell of Pennsylvania; C&P Telephone Companies of D.C., Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia; Diamond State Telephone, and New Jersey Bell) serving six states (Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia) and the District of Columbia.
		In 1993, Bell Atlantic proposed a merger with cable TV giant Tele-Communications Inc. -- a high-profile deal later terminated by Bell Atlantic, but one that dramatically accelerated the pace of change in the industry, making it clear that convergence of digital technologies and industry consolidation were the way of the future.
