Context Connect Allocated 118282 Directory Enquiry Number in the UK

London, United Kingdom – May 23, 2002 – Context Connect, Inc. announced that it has been provisionally allocated 11 82 82 following Oftel’s recent Directory Enquiry (DQ) Lottery procedure. The decision by Oftel, the British Telecommunications Regulator, means that BT’s monopoly of the DA/DQ market (the 192 DQ service) will no longer exist. The numbers allocation process is the first step in leveling the playing field for directory enquiry companies, creating choice for consumers in the UK.

The experience of directory enquiry deregulation in other European countries has led to a significant improvement of benefits to consumers in terms of service quality, value for money and the introduction of innovative service offerings.
