GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Mark your bag with a name tied to a remarkable chapter in American communications. MediaOne grew from US West's cable expansion, took shape after the 1996 Continental Cablevision acquisition, and carried services such as MediaOne Express, RoadRunner and Hiway1. Its standalone era was brief: AT&T acquired the company in 2000, and Comcast later acquired AT&T Broadband. This luggage tag brings that story along on trips and suits collectors drawn to the fast-changing cable landscape of the late 1990s.
MediaOne Group, Inc. emerged from US West's expansion into cable television and internet services. US West acquired Continental Cablevision in 1996 for $5.3 billion in stock and renamed it MediaOne, following the earlier adoption of that name by Wometco/GTC. In 1998, US West separated its telephone and non-telephone businesses; the company taking the US West, Inc. name transferred its communications and directory publishing divisions to a new entity, while the split took effect on June 12. Chuck Lillis became MediaOne's CEO. The company had roots in three regional telephone businesses: Mountain Bell, based in Denver, Northwestern Bell in Omaha, and Pacific Northwest Bell in Seattle. Its cable offerings included MediaOne Express, MediaOne RoadRunner and Hiway1. After Comcast bid for MediaOne in 1999, AT&T offered about $62 billion and paid a $1.5 billion break-up fee; AT&T acquired MediaOne in 2000. The assets subsequently became part of AT&T Broadband, which Comcast acquired in 2002. MediaOne was then known as Comcast MO Group, Inc. Its corporate history traces a path from regional telephone operations and cable acquisitions to successive ownership by AT&T and Comcast.
