Another kind of wardriving..
NYC Taxicabs to Test Cell Signal Strength comp.dcom.telecom posting about Ericsson measuring the signal strength of cellular providers in New York with simple boxes mounted in taxicabs. (warning: the telecom-digest.org site linked from the above google groups page is full of background music and 'cute applets' and other mayhem)
Sounds like a nice wardriving setup, only cellular providers pay for this data.. maybe this is the way: just gather enough information besides wifi networks (cellular reception, radio/tv signal reception) and your wardriving habit can pay. Somehow.
