Long Lines 25 product managers 34, 924 employees President, A.T.&T. Long Lines, Richard R. Hough Long Lines is the interstate and international operating unit of A.T.&T. A.T.&T. is actually made up of twenty-three Bell system-associated companies and Long Lines. The primary concern of Long Lines is the day-to-day management of the vast national resource that is the nationwide telecommunications network. The organization is sustained financially by fees to customers for usage of telecommunications service. A.T.&T. Long Lines was begun in 1900 as a response to the increase in long-distance telephoning. The chief responsibilities are to develop and operate the long-distance network. In addition to regular long-distance message telephone service, Long Lines provides private line circuits for the transmission of data, television, radio, teletypewriter, and telephoto services. The Telephone Centennial was celebrated in 1976. From When Two or More Are Gathered Together (1976) by Neal Slavin.
