Actually, AT&T was on the inside considerably before that— one instance is the “L” series of transcontinental networks built primarily for military use. There are several interesting sites that have lots of details on this; check out http://home.att.net/~long-lines/l-cxr.html(or back issues of TELECOM Digest) for more details.

Dave:

One word -- NSTAC.  Remember Joe Nacchio's defense in his insider trading trial?

Since the early 1980's all the US telecom firms have been on the "inside" when it comes to national security planning and execution.  This was put in place as a result of the anti-trust actions taken against AT&T.
