New Jerseyans to Stop Getting White Pages, Can Request CD-ROM

white and yellow pagesThe White Pages' chronic illness might have been diagnosed in New York, but the phone book crawled to New Jersey to die. Regulators in the Garden State have given Verizon the okay to stop printing the residential listings. The company will still deliver print copies of the Yellow Pages, as well as government and information listings, but residents who still want the old-school, ink and paper White Pages (or CD-ROM!) will have to specially request one from Verizon. The move will both save Verizon money and reduce the company's environmental impact. With the White Pages now searchable online and the majority of Americans connected to the Internet, it only makes sense that the print edition would bite the dust.
