BellSouth Hoodie / Sweatshirt
This BellSouth hoodie / sweatshirt celebrates a name that once connected millions of people across the Southeast. BellSouth emerged from the 1984 AT&T divestiture, carried the heritage of Southern Bell and South Central Bell, and became part of the region's shift from landlines to FastAccess DSL and Cingular Wireless. Its eventual 2006 move into AT&T makes it an enduring reference for telecom nostalgia, corporate-history collectors, and longtime Southern customers.
BellSouth was an American telecommunications holding company based in Atlanta, Georgia. It was formed on January 1, 1984, after the U.S. Department of Justice required American Telephone and Telegraph Company to divest its regional telephone companies. The new company held Atlanta-based Southern Bell and Birmingham-based South Central Bell, reconnecting much of the Southeast's telephone service under one holding company. In 1992, South Central Bell and BellSouth Services were merged into Southern Bell, which became BellSouth Telecommunications. Southern Bell and South Central Bell remained customer-facing names until 1998, when BellSouth became the sole brand. BellSouth offered telephone, internet, wireless, directory, and related services across nine southeastern states. It launched FastAccess DSL in 1998 and joined SBC's wireless business in 2001 to form Cingular Wireless. AT&T acquired BellSouth on December 29, 2006, following its March announcement; Cingular services moved to the AT&T name and BellSouth Telecommunications began doing business as AT&T Southeast.
