A couple of other projects are:

Name Link Size Measures License
OpenWLANMap http://www.openwlanmap.org/?lang=en 10M APs unknown GFDL
Skyhook http://skyhookwireless.com/ 700M APs and cells Commercial
OpenMobileNetwork http://www.openmobilenetwork.org/ 11k cells 200k unknown
G-NetWorld http://www.gyokovsolutions.com/G-NetWorld/G-NetWorld.php unknown unknown unknown

We haven't imported or share data with any of these projects, based on different commercial/license terms. The only exception to that is OpenCellID where we are also hosting their aggregate data set, but keep it separate for license reasons.
