<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Very good question about telemarketers and
directory assistance listings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unfortunately this is true, as it is for new DA
listings provided by a conventional telephone company. Our
submissions are no different, this is completely out of our
control.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unlike phone companies we do not provide the
listings to book publishers, however. Some of the marketing lists come
from phone book scanning and overseas transcription services, but others do come
from electronic aggregation or simply queries to directory asistance
databases. We disclose this to all participants.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One way to greatly reduce it is to list with no
street address. The absence of the street address makes the listing less
attractive to telemarketers because they cannot geocode or confirm a USPS
legitimate address. Generally people requesting 411 directory
assistance for businesses do not specify the address, only the business name,
city and state.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the residential side, of course, the listing
subject should register first with donotcall.gov, and wait 30 days to list with
411.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sincerely,</FONT></DIV>

testing phase of our system to provide listing submission services <BR>to VOIP
resellers and end user businesses, we are offering to insert new <BR>directory
assistance listings into the 411 National Directory Assistance <BR>databases
at no charge for a limited time.<BR><BR>Our service allows VOIP resellers to
offer to their end users the ability to <BR>list their businesses and
residential lines in national 411 directory <BR>assistance without dealing
with a phone company, wholesaler or otherwise <BR>incurring additonal monthly
charges to be in 411. The same service will <BR>later be provided to
also list cellular phones or any dialable phone. This is <BR>primarily a
business service but residential listings are also accepted.<BR><BR>Here are
the conditions for this program:<BR><BR> - phone numbers must be
operational; no disconnected messages etc.<BR> - phone numbers to be
listed must be permanently assigned to the listing <BR>subject business or
residence.<BR> - phone numbers to be listed must NOT be already
represented in directory <BR>assistance.<BR> - one name and address per
phone number, but you can list multiple names <BR>using different
DIDs.<BR><BR>The listings accepted will be available to 411 (and new free 411
services) <BR>callers nationwide.<BR><BR>Some of you have already worked with
us to get your clients' listings into <BR>directory assistance. Take
advantage of this opportunity to get more calls <BR>for your or your clients'
businesses by listing more of your DIDs in 411.<BR><BR>Contact me directly to
participate.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
