The new AT&T, which jumps 17 spots on the Fortune 500, is the phoenix reborn from four different telecoms: the old AT&T, Cingular, BellSouth and SBC. That collective customer base sent sales skyrocketing 88%.

The new Ma Bell scored some high-tech street cred when it became the exclusive carrier offering Apple's iPhone. That deal helped it post a record quarterly increase of 2.7 million wireless subscribers in 2007's fourth quarter.
