Mike The OpenStreetMap database contains the location of 14,931 telephones, worldwide. Probably a lot of these will be in the UK.
This url will give you the current telephone data in a download of about 1.5Mbytes but you can only use this data if you comply with the CC-BY-SA license terms that apply to it. http://osmxapi.hypercube.telascience.org/api/0.5/node[amenity=telephone] For each phone we hold it's location and for a few there will also be other attributes such as phone number and post code. How is the data on your web-site licensed? There is nothing on your site to indicate what restrictions or freedoms attach to the site's content. I should stress, that you would have to comply with the CC-BY-SA license terms before you could use OSM's data on your site. That means that you must provide attribution to OSM and you may only publish the data on the same basis as it was provided to you. 80n On Mon, Dec 8, 2008 at 12:55 PM, Mike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Folks, > > I'm currently working on a project to collect data on the location of UK > payphones.
