The definitive list of the "phone companies" of the world is, in my opinion, the CCITT publication titled simply, "List of Addresses." This is, for lack of a better description, the "phone book" of the members of the CCITT, including not only the official postal address of every CCITT member, but a listing of key personnel for various functions, right down to their own individual business address, direct phone number, Telex number, and any other public means of communications to them. The last time I bought one, it was several hundred dollars, but well worth the money for my purposes, providing me not only accurate information, but contacts with people who were interested and concerned, not just some front-office types whose main job was to *not* know anything helpful. The is officially sold by the CCITT Bookstore at 2, rue du Varembe in Geneva, but stocks may be available at other CCITT publications sources such as the UN Bookstore in New York City and the National Technical Information Service in Springfield, Virginia. If you really don't want to buy the entire book or haven't the funds, finding the one of the CCITT participants of your local CCITT-member "telco" will probably lead you to an individual who has a copy to aid you in a few addresses and numbers. Lat time I had a copy, it was 600 pages or so!
