- bumby 2y agoCould you elaborate or be more specific? Given how long BL existed, I’m not sure I can pin down what rates you’re talking about
- gregw2 2y agoOne of the commenters on the original article said "Bell Labs was funded through a 1% tax on Bell's overall revenue, as well as a claim on a portion of Western Electric's revenue, so yes, AT&T was able to recoup Bell Labs' expenses." This would protect it from (at least certain types of) C-suite predation presumably.
