Yellow pages has us all by the balls. As a small business owner, in my particular market, I can't survive without their services, even though they suck and I hate them, and their entire company.

My business can be destroyed by Yellow pages on a whim at a moment's notice. How did it get to be so bad?

I don't have a ton of knowledge about Yellow Pages, but something makes me thing that them being in print prevented them from changing the meta at a moment's notice, and therefore being able to destroy any section of businesses at a moment's notice.
Weird analogy since Google killed the yellow pages.
