Pacific Telesis Group: The diversified telecommunications firm’s 1989 net income rose 5% from the previous year to $1.24 billion. Revenue totaled $9.59 billion, about the same as 1988. Fourth-quarter earnings were $322 million, up 29% from a year earlier, and included one-time adjustments that increased profit by $36.4 million. Revenue for the period held steady at $2.48 billion.
