Conduit allocated directory enquiry number for the UK market

Conduit, has announced that it has been provisionally allocated 11-88-99 for directory enquiries following the Oftel Directory Enquiry Lottery procedure.

The decision by Oftel, the British Telecommunication Regulator, means that BT's monopoly of the market, and the number 192, will no longer exist. The number allocation process should mean that there is now an equal competitive environment for directory enquiry companies in the UK.
