@opencage I think there's a related one on a pub in Leicester, the Bridle Lane Tavern. The street still exists, but no longer goes past the pub. Of course the pub is also named after a street which vanished in the 1800s :

Need to update #OpenStreetMap (which, awkwardly has 2 addresses for the pub)

@mdione @not2b @gedankenstuecke Yeah, that's why I mentioned the country.

Originally it was the same here, but the.cost of rolling out 4G & 5G persuaded the government to allow sharing. I suspect the economics are similar everywhere, so it might change.

@not2b @gedankenstuecke Here in the UK the actual network used is often different from who bills you. For instance I'm currently connected to Vodafone (probably because there's a 5G master 200 m away) but have an EE contract.

I assume emergency calls will always be network agnostic.

So I don't think there's a need to try & capture this detail in #OpenStreetMap.

RE: https://mastodon.scot/@ultrazool/116240524503087266

Thinking about @zool's experience proposing an idea to #ARIA. I still think that there's scope for completely different ways to innovation funding. ARIA have a saner process than many, but I always liked the late Donald Braben's approach:l. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Braben

(Note: My Dad received BP Venture funding from Braben around 1990.)

@ultrazool Ooof! Makes it harder to offer reassurance. Suspect (or hope?) you're a victim of policy making by inertia. As for the other thing just sorry to hear it.

Reminder that Oracle (ORCL) ran into financial problems in 1991, and required a discrete bailout from Nippon Steel.

@ultrazool Might be no consolation, but I don't think you should frame this as being on "the wrong path". The grant award process heavily favours incumbents, even when the awarding body is actively trying to avoid doing so.
