<div dir="ltr"><div><div>He he..,<br><br></div> It seems that SOI has no problems if google privately having our country's geospatial data (That is always subject to the verification by NSA, FBI or whatever). But if google publish the same in the web through their mapping services, as that may become helpful for different stakeholders of this country at various levels, that would be considered as a serious sin. <br>
<br> Also, SOI is not interested / don't have ability to disseminate the data it holds, for any useful purpose for the general public of this country.<br><br></div>Sounds nice, right? :)<br><div><br><br><div><div><div class="gmail_extra">
