Oh it's not confusing at all,
but I thought it would be nice as well to build a database where people
could see the real position of cell towers and take a look at them.
Right now we could only provide an estimated area where the cell sends.
Of course this wouldn't be available in all areas and so on.
But it would be available in regions where people care about it.
And we could import other databases which collect only the positions of
cell towers.
Of course the data might get old over time but it is still trusted data,
which could be used varify submits.
A submit telling the server Cell XY is at place B -> Cell XY has a
trusted position already but this position is A and not B.
The user who submitted the position gets a request to update the tower
if there is no new data the upload of position B will get deleted.
It was just just an idea after all, the verifying process might be not
efficient
but it would be nice at least to have a database which is open available
so that you can take a look at it. (as a table online)
