Yahoo and MySpace come to mind. Probably could count Nokia and Blackberry, although they were more phone/hardware.
Possibly AOL, but their “death” may have been more than 20 years ago.
And while technically some of those companies “exist” in some capacity today, I don’t think we’d consider any of them except Yahoo as anything but a name/brand at this point.

Was it Worldcom? Or was that also older than I think it was? I forget when Gateway died, same with Compaq. Cell carriers die off all the time.

Nokia is doing just fine. They’re mostly focused on networking stuff nowadays. They left the phone business when MS bought it.
