Many local small businesses haven't converted to advertising online yet! You mentioned "human effort". In this economy, I'll bet that those "humans" are happy they still have a job! Let's not put them out of work just because some don't want to use the phone book. I agree that having an "on demand" system or an "opt-in/out" procedure might be of interest to some. I have a gut feeling that more people use the phone book than you realize. People in our field seem to have a different outlook in the world of marketing and advertising - but we do have to remember that not everyone runs to their computers for information - at least not just yet!
