Why can't people post to bell.all?  That's like saying that
MIT has its own internal mail service, therefore no one may
send mail to MIT.  If someone at AT&T, or any other site, has
something that is of interest to the entire bell commuity, I
don't see what is wrong with addressing a message to them.
After all, that is what newsgroups are for.
