A bit more information from andnav developper Nicolas "plusminus" on andnav forum : "the hashed IMEI is used to register a new 'user' with skyhook in a so called 'realms'. I'm not sure why this has to be done, but I think its because by doing so they can disable 'users going wild'. Also if the license agreement would end, they could block complete 'realms'.
