This might hold true for a single world wide white pages information 
system envisioned in the X.500 days. But as a matter of fact LDAP is 
being deployed for, e.g. corporate white pages directories a lot and 
increasingly for user management and authentication services. It weren't 
technical reasons that the world wide service didn't hit the ground, 
rather organizational and reasons connected with privacy legislations.

Cheers,
