contact data:

... useful address information that goes along with a listing in a contact directory. In other words, contact data is what you look for when you want to get in touch with someone.

One example of a contact data resource is a buyers guide, for looking up the names and addresses of suppliers of goods and services. If you are a member of the .network core user group seeking, for example, to find and build working relationships with mission contacts, you have various directories at your finger tips. One of them is the Global Registry of Contatcts which you can query using the search tool provided below. The GRC is an economic development directory. We (who we are) like to refer to it as an enterprise and economic development directory as well as a site selection directory. In any case it's for finding resource and services suppliers.

You have free access to the GRC. You are not monitored as a user. As a contact registry it is available to resource and service providers worldwide to submit contact data to its database without incurring any cost or obligations to us. When those listed in the GRC database want to make it convenient for, say, prospects to get in touch, they simply ask that we establish a link directly to where their contact data is available online. The service of providing a links for resource and service providers is available for a small annual fee. You, however, can ask for a link to address information online for any GRC listing that doesn't have one and we will provided it temporarily for your use without cost or obligation. Yes, it's free and that simple.
