I do however feel little sorrow for people like June and whole families who work for the money greedy pigs called the phone industry. 411 used to be the first 5 times a month was free. Then they charged you a reasonable amount for going over. This paid for your saleries and then some. Then a bright money pig wanting advancement at the phone company realized the cash cow is could be and a multi-billion dollar market sprang up overnight. So good for US! I only wonder if we are being set up again.... I say Hurray if 411 is dead!

I hope it is not dead!! I guess there are always people who have nothing better to do with their money than to pay for 411 calls. And how is the vocal recognition with the foreign customers? I have had alot of customers who do have a very strong accent and need a live operator to understand what they are talking about. I work for 411 through DeltaCom. I hope it is not dead!!

According to Josh Kopelman (RedEye VC) it has taken 6% of the 411 market. Now we see a player like Google enter the space: Will it play out like what happened to Kiko (The Y! combinator calendar service) after Google calendar launched or will it be a able to hold its ground and continue to increase market share? The one thing 1-800-FREE411 has going for it is the fact that Google cant really tie it into search/Gmail (which is what it did against Kiko)/Local (?). So it has to use "real" marketing tactics to spread the word. Still I give Google a good shot! What I am most excited about is to see how FREE-411 responds to the Google threat.
