- ardy42 8y ago> Yea, Bell Labs had nothing to do with the internet. Bell Labs existed in large part because AT&T was trying to justify its monopoly to fend off antitrust regulators. Also, I think it had more to do with building the switched telephone network than it did with building the internet. It was a pretty unique organization in time and space, and not at all typical of "corporations."
