And I'm sure the Long Lines crews were quite busy in the postwar era
building out the coax and microwave facilities needed to serve the
needs of network TV, which I am sure was also "very good money" for Ma
Bell!

Hence expanding the local facilities took a back seat until I think
the late 1960s. After all Bell wasn't making much money on local
phone service.
