General Telephone and Electronics Redirected from GTE
General Telephone and Electronics was the largest of the "independent" telephone companies during the days of the Bell System[?].
In recent years GTE merged with Bell Atlantic to form Verizon.
GTE provided local telephone service in a large number of areas of the U.S.
They also owned Automatic Electric[?], a telephone equipment supplier similar in many ways to Western Electric.
GTE operated in Canada via controlling interest in subsidiary companies such as BC TEL and Quebec Tel[?].
Its former Canadian subsidiaries have combined with the former Alberta Government Telephones[?] (AGT) to create TELUS, the second largest telecommunications carrier in Canada.
