AT & T / Bell Labs (now lucent) "helped weave the technological fabric
of modern society". These guys made UNIX in 1969, along with "stereo
recording, sound motion pictures, the first long-distance TV
transmission, the first fax machine, the touch-tone phone, several
generations of modems, communications satellites, lasers, solar cells,
cellular telephony and lightwave communication systems".
They are now part of the naming confusion surrounding
AT&T/Lucent/Agere/Avaya.
From what I can tell, originally Agere was a division of Lucent,
which was a division of AT&T. In 1991, AT&T assimilated a company
called NCR (Which was where the 'father of Wifi')
