I was positive and said ten. Other person in conversation was, i believe, more realistic and said three.
What do you think?
for the record, i am 35 and knew the answer. other person in conversation is older and did not know the answer

It doesn't stand for anything anymore.

I didnt know, but to be honest I didnt really try to think of what it stood for.
Besides I starting laughing when Cingular came across my mind.

I wonder how many know what NASA stands for?
Posted on 3/11/14 at 6:51 pm to Rouge
American Telephone and Telegraph Company.
I wonder if some don't know what FedEx stands for or IBM.
BMW was a bonus question on a test in HS once (silly teacher) I got it wrong and put Berlin Motor Works.
(best bonus question ever was name the five three stooges).

Well the SBC/AT&T unified branding began in the early 2000's... so these college kids were, what? 5-9 years old?
Posted on 3/11/14 at 6:56 pm to Rouge
None. Maybe one. But probably none. It would depend on the class. I've made references both dated and current and most students haven't gotten them.

All I'm saying is they've never seen it spelled out anywhere. So unless they went digging into the history of the company, they wouldn't know what it used to stand for.
