Whatever Happened to the Public UDDI? Web Services Registries Fade

A few years ago, when Web services were envisioned as creating
interconnected applications that spanned across businesses, public
Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) registries
were seen as a tree on which to find the fruit -- or external Web
services. Now that Web services are used almost exclusively for
internal development and integration, not only has the hype
surrounding the public UDDI registries subsided, but the
information in them hasn't grown either.
