There is another variable to this. They want to have a mapping 
community... and it is not strange they have asked some people from OSM 
to give talks about the issues that they have.

So I presume there are opportunities for them too, now they have 
acquired Teleatlas that chance could be slim... but certainly not 0.

Here too.

But what is your motivation about this? Just to enlarge userbase (OSM)?
