There are mutiple phonebooks worldwide, each compiled by different organizations. There is just not one phonebook, similar to how there is not just one DNS-server.
- cratermoon 6y agoFor many years in the US there was THE phonebook published by the regional Bell Operating Company.
- slightwinder 6y agoExactly, regional. Each city/region has it's own phonebook and dialing-code. This is also quite similar to how DNS-hierachies&zones are working.
