Also, from a practical point of view, data points about cell service are not going to have any relationship to other items in the osm database. And, they are likely going to be semi-automatically collected, and people probably want contour lines that are generated from points, not the points. There will be conflicting data, and need some averaging. The OSM data model of a single value at a location just doesn't fit how one would deal with this data.
Once there is a database with upload and extraction for this data -- and it seems like there is -- it does almost no good to to anyone to merge it into OSM, and certainly not enough good to overcome the trouble it causes. I note that OSM does not have elevation contour lines. I am not advocating adding them, but that information is far easier to deal with, more clearly defined/measurable, and more useful to many, than cell service data. Thus, I see ading cell service information to OSM as basically out of the question. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
