I'm a bit amused, or rather disappointed, to read comments like
"it's complicated to estimate the number of reception bars because
it depends on the phone". Were these kinds of comments made after
reading the proposal or simply in reaction to the headline?
the proposal isn't about encoding the number of reception bars.
I don't see what problem there would be in me entering that my
dentist's surgery has no GSM reception, nothing ever, I don't see what
lack
of objectivity there would be in encoding this in osm.
I don't see what problem there would be in saying that another POI has
major reception problems but that it still works, it doesn't matter if
you have 2 bars and I have 3, it doesn't change the fact that it's
much less than the average you'd expect in this kind of place.
and so the =no and =limited values seem to me to be much more
objective than some route classifications
Not all phones are created equal.
An Australian cell service provider rates some phones as better for
country and regional area reception. If you have one of these you are
more likely to rate a connection 'good' instead of 'limited' and
'limited' instead of 'no'.

Of course my phone is 'blue ticked'.
