I believe it was MarketPlace. They folded the consumer version in the
midst of that uproar, but kept the business version (MarketPlace Business),
which is now marketed by iMarket.Inc and provides about 11 million US
business sites in a Dun & Bradstreet file, which can be selected by various
criteria such as industry, size, etc. on a per-record basis. Or you can
just aggregate data - for example, Pizza Parlors by ZIP - and export that
data for free. MPB costs about $500/year for quarterly updates, with a lot
of enhancements available at extra costs. Hope this helps
