How much do those operators get paid?? Can the operators do more than one call at the time? I doubt it. How do they make money? How???

Two words: Premium Sponsors.
The people who call have the cost subsidized by advertisers. Infone is a legal "shill" (to use the old term). Infone is paid by one advertiser or another to get the person on the phone steered in their direction, be it a hotel, a restaurant, a show promoter, whomever.
BTW 89¢ for directory information is 10¢ cheaper than what SBC (the local "Baby Bell") charges here, but is still 89¢ more expensive than Google.
