"TomTom Navigation has a recently launched article on what they call
the 'negative aspects' of open data projects such as OpenStreetMap. As
there are no hard facts and details to the studies they refer, the OSM

Doubt'."

In what looks like "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then
they fight you, then you win", Slashdot discusses TomTom's fight
against OpenStreetMap and open source maps.

The Slashdot summary: "TomTom Navigation has a recently launched
article on what they call the 'negative aspects' of open data projects
such as OpenStreetMap. As there are no hard facts and details to the
studies they refer, the OSM community identified this release as
classical 'Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt'."

That second link on FUD is pretty informative. Related, last January we
mentioned an article comparing TomTom and OpenStreetMap data in Germany.
