Few people of today understand the nature of the Bell System Monopoly, as it has been extinct since January 1, 1984. This Saga looks back on this era from the prospective of an Operating Company Employee charged with the maintenance of the Bell System Network. The historic beginning of the Bell System is also discussed to provide perspective on the 20th century Bell System Monopoly. This Saga reminds us of some of the old telephone terminology: Switch Board, Dial Tone, Long Distance, Operator, Rotary Dial, Touch Tone, Lineman, DDD, AMA. ESS and many more telephony terms lost with time.
