for it. And the cost of providing
this service will rise in the future.
The reason is simple enough.
The volume of calls to Directory
Assistance has been expanding at
an alarming rate, costing several
thousand extra dollars every day.
And most calls are unnecessary
because most are for numbers
already listed in the phone book.
if you still can't find a number or
if it's a new listing, feel free to
call. That is why the service is
provided in the first place.
You can help hold telephone

That would eliminate some-
thing else, too: the need for this
message.
