> Businesses with names beginning with numbers or the letter "A" would receive a grossly disproportionate share of calls,

Look in your yellow pages for plumbers, taxis, etc. You'll notice a disproportionate number of them named things like A, A1, AAA, etc.

I'll bet they do it because they do (or believe they will) get more calls.
