BT plans to fold the New York-based firm into its existing U.K.-based BT Yellow Pages publishing operation. Yellow Book USA is the largest independent U.S. phone directory publisher with a portfolio of 300 directories with a circulation of 19 million. Most of the directories distributed in the U.S. are published by the regional Bell telephone companies.

BT shares were down 1 percent at 993 pence in a weak London market.
