BellSouth Telecommunications

, prior to AT&T acquisition BellSouth Telecommunications was formed in 1992 when BellSouth Corporation consolidated its operating companies, South Central Bell and Southern Bell, into one entity. It was a wholly-owned by BellSouth Corporation. In 1995, South Central Bell and Southern Bell were officially dropped and only BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc. was used in marketing. In 2025, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a lawsuit against BellSouth, alleging that the company violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. BellSouth enforced 275-pound weight limit for its employees, intended to screen out those with Class III obesity. ==References==
