Because, as Burger noted, "SBC took the higher-value name"--the name itself was a meaningful asset. Yes, the company's name is now ATT, the ticker symbol is T, but the company remains headquartered in SBC's hometown--San Antonio and the CEO of new ATT was the CEO of SBC. Tell me you don't actually do deal work--this is not an uncommon occurence.

Not only that, but SBC can now amortize the value of that name of 15 years. But that's just boring tax shit, so I'll drop it.
