A comment on In Silicon Valley wages are down for everyone but the top 10 percent. Parent comment
Bell Labs existed in large part because AT&T was trying to justify its monopoly to fend off antitrust regulators.
Also, I think it had more to do with building the switched telephone network than it did with building the internet.
It was a pretty unique organization in time and space, and not at all typical of "corporations."
