So will VOIPo go to BING411?

This is one thing I dislike about Google and it makes me wonder how dependent I should be on GMail and Google Voice as they may up and decide to kill those too! IMO, it's way too early of a death for GOOG-411 :(

You would think they would want to be a top telephone search engine?
Maybe they could not leverage enough ideas for revenue?

I wonder how many people actually used it frequently, for more than a toy?

Also would like to know if the "free 411" will be routed to something else after Nov 12?

^ you can always change it to another free 411 search engine yourself in outbound call routes, but I suspect VOIPo will change it when it gets closer to the expiration.
