Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

The US directory and mailing list publishing industry includes about 1,300 companies with combined annual revenue of about $16 billion. Major companies include Dex One (formerly RH Donnelley), SuperMedia, infoGROUP, and Yellow Book USA. The industry is highly concentrated: the 50 largest companies account for about 90 percent of industry revenue.

The industry includes companies that publish phone directories and mailing lists used for marketing. Most phone directories are printed but publishers also offer online versions; lists are generally delivered online.

Directory companies publish printed white and Yellow Pages listings, generally in one directory; in large markets, separate white and Yellow Pages directories are published....
