AT&T's physical network was impressive technology: an all-photonic network with lithium-niobate crossbar switches, laser amplified undersea cables, and lossless token ring networks that serviced cities.

I saw a presentation of this system that included making fun of TCP/IP and laughing at the idea that AT&T would support the internet. Ironically, the internet still runs on top of that photonic network infrastructure.

We had a little bit of TCP/IP too, mostly for experiment, though we also made an early application-level firewall in 1989 or so. But yes, missing that IP was the future was a great lack of foresight.
