 Satellites TV - The numbers game
The £70m advertising splurge introducing the new 118 numbers reaches a crescendo this weekend as new operators try to grab a share of a market expected to be worth £1.2bn a year.
The pattern is repeated for nearly all the new 118 numbers: the mobile phone companies have layered in huge additional fees which make a nonsense of the advertised figures.
Curiously, BT is not actively promoting its other 118 number, 118707, which allows you to access one search for a flat fee of 35p.

There were a number of disputed issues of primary fact raised on the written evidence, and none of the witnesses gave oral evidence, but in the end we found it unnecessary to resolve any of these disputes.
The Number's evidence was that if David Bedford had made it clear at the time that that he was not happy with the advertising campaign because he thought it infringed his rights, then The Number would have acted differently.
The Number neither sought nor obtained David Bedford's permission to be caricatured (from which it necessarily follows that David Bedford never endorsed the 118 118 service).

 Elements 116 and 118 Discovered at Berkeley Lab
Element 118 and its immediate decay product, element 116, were discovered at Berkeley Lab's 88-Inch Cyclotron by bombarding targets of lead with an intense beam of high-energy krypton ions.
Within less than a millisecond after its creation, the element 118 nucleus decays by emitting an alpha particle, leaving behind an isotope of element 116 with mass number 289, containing 116 protons and 173 neutrons.
Elements 118 and 116 were discovered by accelerating a beam of krypton-86 ions to an energy of 449 million electron volts and directing the beam into targets of lead-208.

 192 to 118 countdown - rival says BT more interested in "glamorous" areas - Telecoms - Breaking Business and ...
With the old 192 directory enquiries (DQ) number being switched off this weekend, the battle over who will be the post-regulation DQ winner is officially on — and The Number 118 118 is claiming BT will lose a far greater market share than expected.
William Ostrom, director of communications at The Number 118 118, told silicon.com that while in other countries where DQ deregulation has already happened, the previous incumbent usually retained about 50 or 60 per cent of the market.
A spokesman for BT said that its 118 500 service had always expected to lose some business when directory enquiries were deregulated but the company expects to keep a minimum of a third of the market after 192 is shut down.
