Say goodbye to the phone book?

Ohio regulators are set to consider a phone company's request to stop distributing its White Pages phone book.

Cincinnati Bell says most customers rarely use the printed residential directory any longer but prefer to look up numbers on the Web. The company has asked the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio for a waiver so the White Pages wouldn't have to be delivered automatically to each customer.

A person could still receive a printed copy by asking for one.
