Dr. Jeffery David Whippo, Ph.D., D.B.A., explained that the 1984 Modified Final Judgment on the Structure of the Telecommunications Industry led to progressive deregulation. He explains that the AT&T breakup (Modification of Final Judgment, "MFJ") in the year 1984 resulted in competition in manufacturing, long distance, and information services, while it kept the regime of regulated monopoly in local telephony.

  1. Dr. Jeffery David Whippo Discusses the 1984 Modified Final Judgment (MFJ) on the Structure of the Telecommunications Industry

  2. The Effect of the Modified Final Judgment (MFJ) On the Telecommunications Industry’s Structure in 1984 Dr. Jeffery David Whippo, Ph.D., D.B.A., explained that the 1984 Modified Final Judgment on the Structure of the Telecommunications Industry led to progressive deregulation. He explains that the AT&T breakup (Modification of Final Judgment, "MFJ") in the year 1984 resulted in competition in manufacturing, long distance, and information services, while it kept the regime of regulated monopoly in local telephony.

  3. How Was Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOC) Established? Jeffery David Whippo describes that on January 1, 1984, a court forced AT&T to give up its 22 local Bell companies, establishing 7 Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOC). A few local companies that were not wholly-owned subsidiaries of AT&T remained independent, but the RBOCs were very powerful and covered the US.

  4. The Direct Effect of the Breakup of AT&T Dr. Whippo explains that the direct effect of the breakup of AT&T was competition in long distance. Since that time, he explains, mergers have reduced the number of RBOCs to four: Verizon (originally Bell Atlantic and Nynex), Qwest (Qwest Communications International took over US West), BellSouth and SBC (originally Southwestern Bell and Pacific Telesys).

  5. Some Positive Effects of the Modification of Final Judgment In parallel, Jeff Whippo says, wireless telephony grew to great success. The "world wide web" emerged as a ubiquitous network "living" on top of the telephone network. Cable television achieved high penetration. Furthermore, the Modification of Final Judgment led to new (and cheaper) wireless services (Personal Communications Services "PCS") and direct satellite broadcast to the market.
