A concern I've had since before investing here was whether they're infringing on a patent to provide directory lookup on the Internet, but bought anyway.

Back in 1998 one could lookup a phone number and get name and address. Now one has to pay for that (so I think it was patented and license fee has to be paid... but don't know for sure what the deal is... All I know is you have to pay for it now. the closest I've found to it shows a location on map for free http://www.ringtrace.com/number/703-988-1000 example number changed for this post from bookmark, so maybe an invalid number but you can put your own in, anyone reading.)

So I think they should have a firm look into to it before hand as they have to take the first move to be better off if they are infringing without a licensing deal. But I still own, just worried about it some, its their business they need to look into it, ASAP. Because giving name number and address maybe patented (even though a search gives a web site which has a contact page which has name/numbers/address or do they, maybe its patented and companies avoid it by not showing it.... Something exists but haven't really looked into it deeply.
