Here's TomTom's recent article criticizing un-pre-moderated
crowd-sourced mapping (OSM is not named, but it's quite obvious):

Here's a slap down reply by Richard Fairhurst (OSMF Board member):

And here's the requisite Slashdot thread:

As maning said on Facebook
<https://www.facebook.com/maning.sambale/posts/4174530287009>: "First
they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you
win.?

It seems TomTom has left the "ignore you" stage already. :p


----------
Note: TomTom bought Tele Atlas in 2008. Tele Atlas is one of the 2
biggest commercial map data providers in the world. The other is
Navteq, which was bought by Nokia in 2007.

Note 2: As far as I know, Tele Atlas does not have significant data in
the Philippines.
