Pol, What is important is to know where the coordinates came from. If they got them with help of Googlemaps, then we cannot use them anyway. When I go the the BIPT site, I find information about those antennas that's a lot more interesting than those coordinates (which we can find out on our own, thanks to bing aerial photography). So if we can get permission to use this information:
Geselecteerde site: 4150 -> ref Philipsgebouw -> addr:housename Philipssite / Nieuwe Kerkhofdreef -> addr:street 3001 Leuven -> addr:postcode, addr:city Status: Operationeel (for the ones that are not operational yet, we should find a way to indicate that) Coördinaten: 4.71307 O / 50.8674 N Lambert: X: 174240 / Y: 173059 m (if these are coming from then, we can also convert them ourselves) Antennes: -> operator=Base;Clearwire;Mobistar;Proximus 1. Base: _VB4019B -> ref:Base 20060315BASE03592<http://www.sites.bipt.be/pdf/2006/03/20060315BASE03592.pdf>-> url:Base 2. Clearwire: BE-BRE006_C1 -> ref:Clearwire 20070208CLEARWIRE00202<http://www.sites.bipt.be/pdf/2007/02/20070208CLEARWIRE00202.pdf>-> url:Clearwire 3. Mobistar: 2-092-F1 20051221MOBISTAR03768<http://www.sites.bipt.be/pdf/2005/12/20051221MOBISTAR03768.pdf>/ 20040226MOBISTAR01654<http://www.sites.bipt.be/pdf/2004/02/20040226MOBISTAR01654.pdf> 5. Proximus: 16LEP_01 / 16LTV_02 Or something of the kind. So if the coordinates don't come from themselves, then we do some legwork and find those locations on our own one by one, using the addresses. What I'm trying to say is, that it's more important to get permission to republish their information about the antennas, than to get permission to use the coordinates they got for them. We can relatively easily reproduce the locations, but it's a lot harder for us to know what providers are being served by which antennas. (Not entirely impossible, but you would need 'abonnement' with all the Belgian providers to find out the strength of the signal and maybe a hacked phone to determine which cell on the network they are serving) Polyglot 2011/4/21 Pol <d.paol...@gmail.com> > On Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 22:51, Wouter Hamelinck <ptity...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Even if I have to admit that I sympathise with Pol's action, there is >> clearly no permission so it is a clear no go.
