The telephone companies include Ameritech Corp., Bell Atlantic Corp., BellSouth Corp., Nynex Corp., Pacific Telesis Group, SBC Communications Corp. and US West Inc. Bellcore, which employs 6000 people and has an annual budget of approximately $1 billion, will continue to focus on non-owner company business.
