We have had the same difficulty with trying to get navigation
companies to release subsets of their road network data useful for
research...

The above is also a big challenge when trying to convince private
companies to release data for secondary, serendipitous public
good???for example, getting personal health/sensor device makers to
release their collections of individual data without hurting their
existing business models.
