that comparison is completely off.....the reason those are going out of business is the cost to provide those services are much higher than the advertising pay back......in this case the cost to provide the services will be low and the pay back enormous.......remember Naveen's chinese food story........you pick up your cell phone and say "chinese food".........your geo-coded cell phone responds without the use of a browser from phone.com naming the 5 closest and the promotion from "Sum Dum Guy" for the free spare ribs....so you go to "Sum Dum Guy" and get your free ribs and infospace gets a 5% kickback on your bill......further if you have auto bill pay buit in another 2% comes infospace's way.
