More on Jingle Networks
Description from Wikipedia:
Jingle Networks, Inc. is an American media network offering a free directory assistance service called 1-800-FREE411.
Consumers dial 1-800-FREE411 (1-800-373-3411) from any phone in the United States to use the toll-free service, which allows callers to obtain any residential, business, or government phone number for no charge. Sponsors cover the service cost by playing short advertising messages, about 12 seconds long, customized based on the number the customer is looking up. A consumer using the service to find a vendor may hear an ad from the vendor's competitor, which is more likely to be a national brand such as Domino's Pizza or 1-800-Flowers. Not every call plays an ad.
Jingle Networks aims at attracting customers away from an existing fee-based market. The Wall Street Journal described it as "inspired by the business model of Google".
