SBC Communications SBC Communications is one of the world's leading data, voice and Internet services providers. Through its world-class networks, SBC companies provide a full range of voice, data, networking and e-business services, as well as directory advertising and publishing. A Fortune 30 company and America's leading provider of high-speed DSL Internet Access services, SBC companies currently serve 56 million access lines nationwide. SBC companies own 60 percent of America's second-largest wireless company, Cingular Wireless, which serves 23 million wireless customers. Since the enactment of the Telecommunications Act in February 1996, SBC has completed several acquisitions to establish itself as a national provider with 175,000 employees: Ameritech (1999), Southern New England Telecommunications (SNET, 1998), and Pacific Telesis Group (1997).

A Record of Service and Responsibility For the sixth consecutive year, SBC has been named the World's Most Admired Telecommunications Company by Fortune Magazine. SBC companies have been providing reliable and innovative telecommunication services for more than 100 years.
