Wisconsin Telephone Company (the corporate name before 1984; Wisconsin Bell 1984 and after) is the Regional Bell Operating Company in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It does business as AT&T Inc.[1] Previous owners were the original AT&T, Ameritech (1984 to 1999), and SBC Communications (1999 to 2005 or 2006).[2]
In late 1993, Ameritech removed all the state Bell names from corporate status. Ameritech became the corporate name. However, the state names were later revived through SBC Communications or AT&T in the 2000s. Wisconsin Bell and the four others, Indiana Bell, Michigan Bell, Ohio Bell and Illinois Bell Telephone Companies now do business as the "new" AT&T.
The AT&T Center headquarters are in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
