Brigitte von Boch.com
The Invention of the
Phonebook of the World.com
  
     
   


but why was phonebookoffrance.com   =   "ERROR MESSAGE"   ?? ..


in fact at the turn of the century (year 2000)
finding phonenumbers was not as easy
as Brigitte had thought ...



Brigitte speaks French
and some
English


but
Brigitte didn't  speak
Arabic, Bulgarian, Chineese,
Croatian, Czech, Danish,
Dutch, Estonian, Farsi,
Greek, Hindi, Hebrew,
Hungarian, Italian, Japaneese,
Kirghiz, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian,
Norvegian, Polish, Portugese,
Romanian, Russian,
Serbian, Slovac, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish,
Tajiki, Turkish, Turkmen
Ukrainian, Urdu, Usberi, Uzbek
Vietnamese
many Phonebooks have a name
Brigitte does not understand


PhonebookofFrance.com = "Error Message"
PhonebookofAmerica.com = "Error Message"
but why did nothing work ?


Brigitte knew that
a PHONE is a phone a PHONE

a BOOK is a BOOK

a PHONEBOOK is a
PHONEBOOK
but



Brigitte  didn't  know the
NAMES
of all of the many
Phonecompanies around the World ...

and the imaginary marketing
NAMES
these Phonecompanies
had given to their local Phonebook ...


PhonebookofFrance.com = "Error Message"
PhonebookofAmerica.com = "Error Message"
but why did nothing work ?




Brigitte
had heard about
.cm

but

she had no idea of
the local internet codes
(see listing)    



....do YOU ?
Brigitte had no idea of local codes*

*oh !
 what code corresponds to what country ?
To be honest, Brigitte did not even know
local codes were in existance ...


PhonebookofFrance.com = "Error Message"
PhonebookofAmerica.com = "Error Message"
but why did nothing work ?


Brigitte was more than surprised to realise that the Internet experts
of some of the largest phonecompanies of the World
had simply forgotten to register the name of their own Phonebook
.cm  does not work !

all these languages
all these names
all these codes

too complicated   for 'poor' Brigitte

and the
Phonebook of the World.com

                                                              was almost born




 Brigitte was wondering ....
but why
was the Phonebook of France
not simply called
phonebookoffrance.com
