With it's roots going back to 1671
Phone Book of the World might be
one of the oldest Telecom Company.




The telephone directory was invented
right at the switch from 1999 to 2000 ...
This happened at the Cybercafe de Paris,
located at Cremerie de Paris N°1 / Hôtel de Villeroy
once the very first Internet Cafe in France.


At the time already connected Americans
travelling to Paris
were desperate to a find a web connection.
Hotels were not yet online
and they were happy to send people
asking for such strange things as email
to our Cybercafe de Paris.

Without realizing it
we run into the most fascinating pioneer people.

Most of them were young, very young
nobody knew who they were
or who they were going to become.
They might not have known it themselfs.

Some were already a little older,
one was the assistant of a certain Dr Jon Postel
who created the dot com system.
He showed us how to register domain names ...

One was on the first flight to the moon



And one, much alder again, came for web lessons.
In her youth she had met the inventor of the phone
Alexander Graham Bell.



But all what happened between 1671
and the moment
we created the website
is a long long story ...
one event directly
resulting in another
making it possible, 315 later,
1986, to get a small Phone Boutique,

329 years later
2000 January 25 to register the
Phone Book of the World.com
domain name

and again today
to host Pop Up Stores
for the World's most iconic brands.
