Collecting data from Firefox for Android

See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Projects/Geolocation_services

Comparable Data Sources

A good starting point for related projects is Wikipedia, both http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_ID and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_positioning_system

A couple of other projects are:

Name	Link	Size	Measures	License
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.
