We introduced the Global Directory Award (GDA) at this year's Conference in order to highlight and stimulate interest in innovative services. We were happy to see the nine terrific entries that were submitted:

  • 1313 Reverse Lookup (in French, “L’annuaire inversé du 1313”). This service uses SMS to receive and deliver directory information;

  • 89.24.24 Pronto Pagine Gialle. Launched in Italy in 2000, this enhanced service offering is experiencing an increase in volume and advertising;

  • Midentity Deskbar with Directory Enquiry Plugin. Midentity, which just announced a distribution agreement with The Number, brings directory functionality to the desktop;

  • Maponair on the Move. This product allows DQ operators to deliver location-based enhanced services to mobile subscribers;

  • Eniro 118 118. Eniro 118 118 has already transition from simply "looking up the telephone numbers" to enhanced services including directions, distances, nearby search, maps, etc.;

  • 892 892 Il Numero. Launched in 2005, this service offers a fixed fee, unlimited searches, unlimited call completion, and a money back guarantee;

Voting for this People's Choice Award was conducted by SMS text messaging, selected 892 892 Il Numero as the People's Choice. We congratulate Il Numero and all the other participants, and look forward to more innovation and success in the directory market.
