I want to purchase the actual yellow pages that are delivered to
people's homes in every "city" with a population of more than 250,000
people for the following countries (I have listed their general
location to help out): Kazakhstan: Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan: Central
Asia, Tajikistan: Central Asia, Turkmenistan: Central Asia,
Uzbekistan: Central Asia, Mongolia: Northern Asia, Cambodia:
Southeastern Asia, East Timor: Southeastern Asia,
Laos: Southeastern Asia, Vietnam: Southeastern Asia. I am not
interested in the online yellow pages, commercial directories,
import/export directories etc. What I need are the name of the
companies or agencies that distributes them, along with a contact name
and phone number. Email addresses, websites, costs, and weights would
be nice but are not required. This will allow me to contact each of
them and provide payment and shipping instructions.
 
Thank You, 
Joel

Dear Joel:

Thank you for your question. Here is the information you have
requested.


Kazakhstan: Central Asia,
Uzbekistan: Central Asia,
Tajikistan: Central Asia, 
Turkmenistan: Central Asia,
Kyrgyzstan: Central Asia:

I was unable to find any printed Yellow Pages specifically for
Tajikistan and Turmenistan. However, I have found that one company is
responsible for the printing of Yellow Pages throughout Central Asia.
They are based in Kazakhstan, but publish information throughout
Centra Asia. Their Yellow Pages cover all of the above countries, with
the addition of Azerbaijan as well. Here is their contact information:

The International Publishing House "Yellow Pages"

15, Republic Square, Rooms 320-328, 
Almaty 480013, Republic of Kazakhstan
Tel. (3272) 634810, 636556, 634447
Fax (3272) 631872

They publish seperate Yellow Pages books for Kazakhstan, Uzebekistan,
and Kyrgyzstan. They also publish a "Central Asian & Azerbaijan
Business Directory" that contains listings for all the other Central
Asian countries, plus Azerbaijan.

Mongolia. Their contact information is a the following page.

Cambodia: Southeastern Asia:

In Cambodia, all telecommunications are administered by the government
Ministry of Posts and Telecommuunications. Your best bet for Yellow
Pages would be to contact them at the following address:

Ministry of Posts & Telecom Wat Phnom
Corner of Street 13 & 102.  
Phnom Penh, Cambodia 
Tel :(855) 23 426510 or (855) 23 724809
Fax : (855) 23 426011

East Timor: Southeastern Asia:

The largest telephone directory that covers the East Timor region
would be the The Yellow Pages Indonesia, which covers the East Timor
region as well. Here is their contact information:

PT INFOMEDIA NUSANTARA
Jl RS Fatmawati 77-81 Ged DAPENUSA
Phone: 62-21-7201221

Laos: Southeastern Asia:

The official telephone directory of Laos that is similar to our
"Yellow Pages" is called the "Golden Pages." Their websites are a bit
slow in speed from my location though, sorry. Here is their contact
information:

199 Setthathirath Road
Ban Mixay, Chanthaboury District
Vientiane, Lao P.D.R.
Tel  : (856) 21 25 0000
Fax : (856) 21 25 0111
E-mail : info@gp.laopdr.com

Vietnam: Southeastern Asia:

Although I could not find any contacts for print Yellow Pages, here is
the contact information for the Vietnam Telecom International company.
If they can not provide you with telephone directories, I think it
probably doesn't exist. =)

Vietnam Telecom International
Add: 97 Nguyen Chi Thanh - Hanoi - Vietnam
Tel: (844) 8410026 / 8366456   Fax: (844) 8357393


I hope you find this information satisfactory. If you need any
clarifications at all, please don't hesitate to ask. I would be more
than happy to assist your further.
