- joshuamorton 7y agoI'm responding to the statement that GP made which was that to someone who never used GOOG-411, the cost-benefit ratio is further into the cost category [compared to someone who did use GOOG-411]. This would imply that there is some cost to someone who never used the service, hence my question.
