Baby Bells:
Canadian Technologies Corporation (instead of Ameritech, 1983-present, reacquired by CT&T, now a subsidiary)
Canadian Technologies was created by the End of the Bell System, and confederated the Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan local Bell Companies together, thus creating a large "Midwestern Bloc" for CTC to operate from. During the 1980s and early 1990s, they were largely focused on expanding infrastructure for the emerging "internet" that was becoming more popular every year. In 1999, they were acquired by another company, which took the name CT&T.
Bell Atlantic/Verizon Communications (1983-present, renamed/refounded)
Verizon was established by the Bell System's demise; and saw the confederation of most of the "Eastern" chunks of the Bell System, which included small forays into Confederate lands -- namely the C&P Telephone Company, which provided telecom service to the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and Delaware. The other subsidies that came under the control of Bell Atlantic in 1983, included the New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ojashī Bell services as well -- however, in 1992, the Japanese government nationalized Ojashī Bell, as part of their "telecommunications consolidation efforts", which lead to the state-owned Imperial Telecommunications organization.
After merging with NYNEX in 1997, the two companies formed Verizon Communications, which is now one of the largest telecom companies in the Western World.

BellSouth (1983-present, Confederate-based)
Established by the Bell System's demise, BellSouth is a reasonably-sized telecom company in the Confederate States; and has a small network of assets. BellSouth itself is a landline provider, and a pay phone operator in many parts of the Confederate heartland. However, they also have subsidiaries in the form of YellowPages.com and Cingular Wireless. BellSouth is the strongest opponent of the reunification of the CT&T assets, and as consistently blocked attempts by the CT&T to buy out Confederate Bells.
NYNEX (1983-1997, merged into Verizon)
Served the New England and New York/Carteria region. Merged with Bell Atlantic in 1997 and became the other founding half of Verizon.
Pacific Telesis (1983-1992, nationalized by Empire of Japan)
The last remains of Ma Bell's powers in the Japanese Empire, Pacific Telesis inherited a sizable operation in the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere, and in the Pacific Rim, running from Alaska to Centroamerica. However, out of the gate, Pacific Telesis fought tooth and nail against Japanese government interference, citing their concerns that they were price gouging innocent Japanese citizens. In 1992, after a legislative push by the outgoing Chancellor Sanders, Japan nationalized the majority of their telecommunications corporations and consolidated their holdings into one state-owned asset -- Imperial Telecommunications. Imperial Telecom became the dominating controller of Bell assets in Asia, and later sold all Confederate and Mexican assets to local Confederate companies, such as MCI Communications and Sprint Corporation.
Later, they spun off their assets in Centroamerica into Centroamerica Telecom (CT). They have kept their assets in Canada as a direct response to the revival of CT&T as an aggressive force; however, in Alaska, they formally spun off their assets there into Alaskan Telecom, which was nationalized in 1991 by the Bolshevik government of the Eurasian Soviet Republic.

CS West, Inc. (1983-2000, merged into Qwest (later CenturyLink))
CS West, Inc. was founded in 1983 as another Baby Bell, and was a notable player in the Rocky Mountains region of Canada and the Confederate States -- as a result, they had a notable amount of power for local telecom. However, in 2000, CS West, Inc., facing competition from domestic Confederate companies like MCI and Sprint in the West, nearly went bankrupt and ended up merging into Qwest, another Denver-based company.
However, in 2011, Qwest also merged, but this time into CenturyLink, one of the largest Confederate telecom providers. CenturyLink fully absorbed the CS West, Inc. assets, and soon traded them down the line all over the western Canadian plains and Confederate region for more money and investment by bankers and foreign investors, looking to diversify.

CS Midwestern Bell (1882-present, survived)
CS Midwestern Bell is the predominant Confederate telecom company in the central region of the country, primarily centralized in Texas. They have a dominant share of Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas telecom, as well as Missouri and parts of Illinois. The CS Midwestern Bell empire is rather strong, and forms a solid opposition bloc to CenturyLink and BellSouth. All three companies generally compete dangerously for customers in cities where they are competitive.
Here's some info on what I'm talking about. And here is some info on the Bell Labs, who, ironically, today, is owned by Nokia. AT&T sold them off at some point, I suppose.
