For UK listers, does anyone know what exactly Ordnance Survey is? Are they a private organisation or a government organisation. I can't work it out. I keep hearing that they are the national mapping agency but they act like a private company. They seem to have a complete monopoly on GIS data in the UK and use unbelievable tactics to preserve that monopoly. If they are the national mapping agency then shouldn't they be a public service. If not, shouldn't they be broken up like any other public monopoly that has gone private?
