I can tell on my own base. I work for a company which does FTTH/VDSL2 infrastructure operation and planning. Internally i am playing with OSM Data mixed with other Telecoms infrastructure data - Using OSRM to calculate infrastructure distances e.g. DSL Speeds etc., construction costs of FTTC, FTTH projects. Never ever that mixed infrastructure data will be available under ODbL. Although the produced work might be interesting to detect internet white spots i cant give it out of my Hands. So it'll stay as little toy project of mine. Whenever there is a need to produce stuff off my hands i'd need to buy commercial map/geodata material. It a matter of fact that i'd need to pay lawyers and find complicated ways to use OSM - So i dont. Complex Licenses or uncertainty is enough for me to not go down that path.
