Yellowpages.com
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yellowpages.com is a Web site operated by Yellowpages.com LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T.[1]
[edit] History
Initially a joint venture, SBC Communications (now AT&T) & BellSouth previously operated their own telephone directory websites, Smartpages.com (a subsidiary of Southwestern Bell Yellow Pages, Inc.) and RealPages.com(a subsidiary of BAPCO) . Both sites' operations were merged into Yellowpages.com in 2005. As a result of SBC Communications merger with AT&T, the post merger AT&T wholly owned an additional telephone directory website AnyWho.com. AnyWho.com, though owned by AT&T Knowledge Ventures, was never merged into Yellowpages.com LLC due to stake conflicts with BellSouth. The acquisition of BellSouth by AT&T on December 29, 2006 lead to both companies being wholly owned.
