We do too. That's why we're so cautious about data and licenses, and why 
I was so blunt to bring this import to light on this mailing list.

Let's hope so. You'll have to think about a reply to their previous 
argument of 'security'. What exactly is so dangerous about a list of 
telco towers?

As you also said, anyone can create such a list. It only takes a lot of 
time. If someone wants to sabotage them, they certainly don't need to 
collect the locations for the entire country.

They're also publishing their database on a Google based map. That's not 
exactly keeping it secret either. :)


But, whatever happens, and I do understand why you wanted to import them 
into OSM, I hope we can talk about this before anyone does an import, 
next time.
