A new business model for telephone enquiries ?
Techcrunch : Jingle Networks Has Now Raised Over $60 million.
Instead of charging “$1.25 for each 411 call, Jingle Networks is providing the same service for free and adding a fifteen second advertisement after you request a phone number but before you are given the results.”
So the price of a number is $ 1.25. And you can get the number for free (you can also try to not listen to the advertisement, but you might miss the number and have to call again). A 8 Billion dollars market vanished ? Or a Web 1.0 business model ?
