The "competitive service" I was trying to refer without naming it was
Google.
But, as a more important subject, I realized after reading your reply
that I had highly lacked of respect to the OpenStreetMap developers and
to the project itself in my previous email.
I am not sure how I could think that writing such harsh word could
contribute positively to the conversation. I want to sincerely apologize
to everyone on the list.
Thanks Richard for pointing it out.
