Depends who you are
For the average person, it's not a big deal. For those that prefer not to be listed in the first place, it's a free bonus. The problem is for businesses, where being in the phone book is crucial. It's a form of advertising, as alot of people still turn to the phone book to find businesses and services. Sometimes it can be used as proof that your business exists. I was once asked by a supplier to send them the phone listing as proof of buisiness, in addition to a tax ID. So while not being listed will help cut down on tellemarketing even more, it won't help everyone.
