Phone directory moves online

"Sonam, sonam, sonam, sonam,..."
For 2011, Bhutan Telecom will not print a phone directory. Instead, a PDF version of the book will be available for download on the BT website (www.bt.bt). Less paper is good. Also, finding the one and only Sonam in Thimphu will become a snap: searching a PDF is quicker than leafing through the white pages. (Quick hint: After opening the file with Adobe Reader, type Ctrl-F). But all this doesn't really help the majority of Bhutanese, who do not have access to a computer. They will need to either get hold of a hardcopy of the PDF file for offline use, call the directory service (140), or refer to an old copy of the phone book.

Now here's an idea for 2012: Directory of mobile phone numbers...

  1. Great. Will it have mobile numbers? Else the directory will be way thinner since many people have discarded their good old telephones!

  2. @PaSsu: I assume the answer is no, hence my closing sentence...
