Los Angeles, CA (June 2005)—411 Publishing, publisher of the most respected film, television, and commercial production resources for qualified listings in Southern California and the New York area, recently announced the launch of its BETA wireless service in the June 411 Update newsletter.

In addition to the three printed directories—LA 411, New York 411 and High Def 411—all qualified listings are also published online through the 411 platform of Web sites, www.la 411.com, www.newyork411.com and www. highdef411.com.

Now, with the launch of the new wireless service, users will be able to access the entire database from all three of these sites through any wireless handheld device such as a Blackberry, Treo or any Web-enabled phone.

411 Publisher Kevin Davis explained the benefits of being able to access the 411 qualified production resources remotely. “ For those in the field, on location, without access to a book or to a computer, the access this service provides through any phone with web access is extremely valuable. Wherever you are, listing information such as company and and crew phone numbers and e-mail addresses are at your fingertips. There is no downloading, no syncing, and no special software. Users access information directly from a live site in the time it takes to connect. This is about convenience and ease of use in the field.”
