Today’s information economy relies
on telecommunications infrastruc-
ture, not unlike the industrial era’s
reliance on water and electricity.
Recent economic conditions haven’t
stopped the progressive evolution
of telecommunications networks.
BellSouth remains focused on
meeting our customers’ existing and
future needs with next-generation
network services.
