[Talk-GB] BT phoneboxes

[Brian Prangle]

OSMUK chapter currently has a csv file of all the Inlink locations,
supplied by Inlink but the licence is incompatible and we are currently in
discussion with them. However perhaps Rober Whitaker might be able to
produe a map similar to the one for Royal Mail  postboxes where the
copyright is acknowledged and there is a heavy disclaimer that the map is a
guide to locating items for a ground survey and the data mus not  be copied
per se into OSM. BT were unwilling to supply either the locationsof the
Inlink replacements or a schedule of closures of current phoneboxes

Regards

Brian
