February 26, 2008, 9:22am (report abuse)Why would we want to spend 500,000 dollars a year to update disconnected and reassigned numbers? Is that because a powerful phone lobby wants to be able to call those numbers a little quicker? I say let them pay for that. This is a silly waste of our tax dollars.
