Google has had a free 411 service now for a few months but I noticed nobody had posted anything about it.

Try it yourself if you are in the USA.

Google already has the information so I would think it's other ad services are providing them plenty of revenue.

Google 411 doesn't work well with automated menus though. Tried it when calling the local Honda dealer and it didn't work properly.
