Phone book?

How quaint.


13x the tonnage of the fully loaded Titanic is annually deposited in
landfills in the form of phone books.

They have reached their lifespan, though. They will survive the best in the
smaller markets, as that will be the best thing going in small towns. But
for large cities, the stranglehold monopolies of the phone books is done.
It was done a few years ago when the courts ruled that the "yellow pages"
did not have a monopoly on that market, and zillions sprang up in
competition.
