[UPHPU] databases for sale

[Tyler Gee]

You need to buy that info for sure.  I heard an interesting report on
NPR the other day (well, it was about a month ago) about the company
who collects that data.  Yahoo, Google, and MapQuest all use the same
company and the same database, so there is actually (supposedly) no
difference in the results on any of those maps.

You could probably dig through the NPR archives to find the name of
the company.

Do you just need it local (as in, Utah) or do you need everywhere? 
Are you mapping this information?  Is there any reason you can't just
use google maps?
