CES 2008

One Book, Many Portals

Comcast Universal Phone Book

There's nothing new about digital phone books—like the ones stored on phones, handheld computers, and e-mail services. But Comcast (CMCSA) has come up with a way to get all that information to work together. Customers of Comcast's phone and Internet services will be able to access and update contact information through Comcast's Web sites or right from a soon-to-be-released cordless phone from VTech. Comcast eventually intends to get the phone book to work via mobile phones and the TV set.
