UpSNAP partners with Ingenio to offer more mobile directory listings. Ingenio provides pay per call listings to AOL, AOL mobile and infospace...now they are going to provide pay per call listings on UpSNAP. I think this reinforces your point.

Under Zaw Thet (who is the best intern I ever hired at Spoke and now runs 4info) they are getting alot of traction on SMS search via the phone. The fact that a phone knows where you are makes mobile search naturally local. We are placing our merchant ads on 4info going forward because of the value we see in thier search base As part of our bundles for our merchant we are included 4info.net which was originally funded by Tim Conner from USVP (who founded http://www.spoke.com with me) and DFJ recently had a significant stake taken in it by Gannett.
