Yeah, but even then, I think that they're just parts of those original seven companies. On the other hand, there were competitive LECs back then, and I think they actually provided their own lines, as opposed to the leasing that goes on today. I bet that they were either in areas where everyone hated the RBOC or in areas that didn't have telephone service back then. I know it sounds absurd, but I heard of a place in the US getting phone service for the first time within the last few months. There were bound to be a lot more of those places in 1984.
