And if someone feeds real world data, but does:
latitude + random()
longitude + random()
?
Wouldn't it mess up the geolocation service? Maybe 1 out of 100 won't mess it
up, but 1 out of 2 will.

Fortunately, geolocation clients probably won't be affected by fake data
because the fake data probably won't match the cell tower or Wi-Fi MAC
addresses clients see in the real world. :)
And even if someone feed fake data into the database (which is
inevitable), the service geolocates clients using multiple cells or
Wi-Fi APs so any bogus outliers that appear far away will be filtered out.
