Take the MLS for example. That's certainly a very thorough list of available homes, but that doesn't make it any easier to tell which homes are possible to buy if you contacted and negotiated with them. Even as popular as the MLS is it wouldn't help. There's also an even bigger problem with your suggestion, the FCC. The FCC has regulations against hoarding and brokering numbers so even if someone contacts me with a great number, we can't really act as a broker and try to sell it for someone. That's why we're really not trying to be a central place to buy and sell toll free numbers as I think you're describing. We're more like the GoDaddy of the phone number business, just doing a good job as a registrar instead of just leaving that up to the hosting companies who do a lousy job of it.
