Disciplined, is not the words I would use - SBC was the most corrupt (IMO) of the former baby bells too. They have been slimy for a long long time. In the 70's several executives were fired for what amounted to having a political slushfund [1] to buy off state officials when needed. While they may be successful they miss the concept of "Spirit of Service" in whole.
