A recent posting offered the following notions:

	>This [survey] is being conducted by Bell Communications Research
	>...is it a marketing-type survey to help determine AT&T's
	>position in the market?  I am a little hazy on
	>who does what after divestiture...

It's no surprise that folks outside of what used to be the Bell System
are confused about divestiture--even insiders still are.

Please be advised that THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CONNECTION between
Bell Communications Research and AT&T--these are two TOTALLY separate
corporations.  Whatever the folks at BCR do is their own business, and
what we in AT&T do is our own.  If BCR wants to learn something about
AT&T's position in a market, well, fine--they'll have to do it on their
own without our help; and we for our part are no more entitled to their
information than you are.  (probably less!  :-)

Just thought you'd benefit from knowing this.
