And the TODAY Show this morning (Dec. 10) had people
on talking about this.  Some points:

The major cell phone companies are talking about 411
list, but these are not going to be on paper.  Verzion
apparently is not talking about this.  IF this
happens, it will be an "opt in" meaning you must say
yes to be listed.  So cell phone users will be
informed before this happens and will NOT be listed
unless you want to be listed.

It is currently illegal for telemarketers to call cell
phones; if you've changed your land line number to a
cell, well....get on the national Do Not Call
registry.  This can be done with land or cell so why
not?  The Do Not Call does not apply to companies you
have a pre-existing relationship with or some
charities.

I can't think of a single time when I've seen these
"MUST READ" type e-mails when the info has been
accurate.
