The Regulatory Mix, TMI’s daily blog of telecom related regulatory activities, is a snapshot of PUC, FCC, legislative, and occasionally court issues that our regulatory monitoring team uncovers each day. Depending on their significance, some items may be the subject of a TMI Briefing.

South Carolina Residential White Pages

AT&T has notified the PSC that, beginning with certain directories published in October 2016, its contractor, YP, will stop publishing printed versions of the residential white pages in South Carolina.  The practice will gradually expand throughout the state.  Customers will be notified of the change through messaging printed on the front cover of the yellow pages directory, and in the Customer Guide. All notifications will feature details on how residential listings can be accessed.  Customers have free electronic access to residential White Pages listings through the following websites: www.ReaIPagesLive.com and WWW.VP.com.
