[OSM-talk] Business listings

[Paul Houle]

     The other day my family was on a road trip and we passed by an 
unfamilliar city.  We wanted to find a chinese restaurant,  so I used 
the database of business locations in City Navigator NT to find one.

    OSM could replace,  perhaps even surpass,  the street maps in a 
product like City Navigator,  but I'm thinking about the business 
listings.  It seems to me that a free product could be provided on a 
basis similar to the Yellow Pages:  it seems to me that it's worth it 
for businesses to be listed,  so a project like that could pay it's 
bills by offering premium listings.

    Is anybody working on anything like that?
