[OSM-talk] Waze and OSM in Chile
Guys, we saw your post on Chile (thanks for letting us know). We investigated it with our partner in Latin America and discovered a data source who has been infringing on OSM data. We have taken immediate action by removing all data from that source while our partner investigates further. Please see our apology at http://www.waze.com/blog/thanks-and-huge-apology-to-the-openstreetmap-community/ .

Awesome. As I said on opengeodata - this is a cool example of a firm taking swift action on an unintended problem and working well with a community. +1 to waze.

Noam, Out of curiosity...I imagine you folks investigated just using the OSM data directly even if you have to give attribution? What made you decide to go with other data providers that you have to pay for? Was it coverage or routability or? I'm only asking because on the surface it looks like it would be a decent fit.
