We do too. That's why we're so cautious about data and licenses, and why I was so blunt to bring this import to light on this mailing list.
Can't wait for tomorrow ! I'll call them and I hope that I'll have the good arguments in my mouth when I'll explain the situation and why we would like to have it on OSM (/which is the hardest part/).
Let's hope so. You'll have to think about a reply to their previous argument of 'security'. What exactly is so dangerous about a list of telco towers?
As you also said, anyone can create such a list. It only takes a lot of time. If someone wants to sabotage them, they certainly don't need to collect the locations for the entire country.
They're also publishing their database on a Google based map. That's not exactly keeping it secret either. :)
But, whatever happens, and I do understand why you wanted to import them into OSM, I hope we can talk about this before anyone does an import, next time.
