Cell Phone Tower and Reception Mash Up

I have many hopes for this blog, one of which is to create a high and increasing level of involvement and interactivity between the readers and me. In that vein, I received today the email that follows...

Hi David,

After stumbling across your Google Mash Ups article, I was inspired to do one of my own. Mashing up the FCC’s database of registered towers, I combined it with cell phone user comments on carriers. With the uncertainty that comes with buying cell phones, I hope this tool clears up the mystery consumers have by allowing them to find the best coverage before they sign into a contract.

Thanks again.

"The site is not very flashy but quite useful. (I discovered I've got a cell tower two blocks from my house. It's on the grounds of a nursing home. I'll have to check it out.) It's worth including [on your blog] for other readers."


I agree.
