Denver Phone Book Delivery May Be Put On Hold

Denver Phone Book Delivery May soon Become Illegal

The days of telephone companies delivering phone books to almost every Colorado household might be numbered under a bill being proposed by a local lawmaker.

Rep. Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, introduced a bill last week that would prohibit a basic telephone service provider from delivering a white page directory or other paper document in excess of one pound unless the customer requests the delivery. A telephone service provider in violation of the proposed law would have to pay a $50 fine per delivery for the first 100 recipients and $1,000 per recipient for subsequent deliveries. Fines would be capped at $100,000 per year.
