'''AT&T Broadband LLC''' was [[AT&T Corporation|AT&T]]'s cable operations division. It was formed in March 1999 when AT&T acquired the assets of [[Tele-Communications Inc.|TCI]] and renamed it to AT&T Broadband. The next year, AT&T Broadband acquired [[MediaOne]] as well and became the largest cable operations company in the United States.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thocp.net/companies/att/att_company.htm|title=The History of AT&T Company|publisher=The History of Computing Project|access-date=April 10, 2010}}</ref> In 2001, AT&T swapped the cable systems to [[Cable One]] in the [[San Joaquin Valley]] region of [[California]], eastern [[Oregon]], northern [[Utah]], and southern [[Idaho]]. Later that same year, it was announced that AT&T Broadband and the [[Comcast Corporation]] will be merging their assets into "AT&T Comcast Corporation"." The deal was finalized in mid-November 2002 and AT&T Broadband fully merged into Comcast Corporation.
