I admit that I have not opened my white pages in more than 10 years. Every year, AT&T delivers a new one and I recycle the old one. I never read any of them. If AT&T gives a $5 discount to people who don't want the phone book, I bet half their customers sign up.

This sounds like a great idea to save trees and energy. How about issuing the white pages every second year -- or every third year. I very seldom use them.

If anyone has a suggestion on how to opt-out of receiving a phone book, please send it over. I tried to get through to AT&T to be removed from their phone book delivery list and it was a hassle. The phone book still showed up on my door step a couple of weeks ago.

Asking ATT for ANYTHING is a hassle! Hopefully this law will go through. I bet VERY few people will request a phonebook. Thanks to Sen. Leland Yee for trying to push this through. One more way to add to our "green" way of living.
