I don't know if I have got this discussion wrong, but I have seen at least two community projects that are trying to build databases of locations of different wireless networks: http://openbmap.org/ and http://opencellid.org/

As I remember it from previous discussions, wifi locations are
somewhat transient for OSM.  Cell tower locations are likely from
government databases are they not?

Google etc estimate location of towers by using data handsets expose.

Given that this would be a 'complete' dataset from another source, why
duplicate (and eventually synchronize) it with OSM, when it should be
possible to display them together in a mash up?

If there is GPS data involved that might be more useful than the tower
estimations etc.
