Re: What carrier controls your phone number?

I don't think the database is kept up to date wrt corporate name changes. Likely a good thing, as that would be more than a full time job.

name changes in industry databases tend to be the responsibility of the provider, not the owner of the database. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there were results that said "General Telephone" instead of Verizon, or Comtel or United or Sprint instead of Embarq or the new owner CenturyTel.

As I implied earlier, there is nothing substantive that an individual can do with this info.
