  No, because Bell lost what was already geographically distinct - the regional baby Bells. Bell labs, Bell trademark, Western Electric, and AT&T Long Distance were all retained. This might be the equivalent of splitting AWS and the rest of Amazon into two companies.

  The government gave AT&T the monopoly.
