Details here: BBC News - BBC to survey UK mobile coverage

The BBC is conducting a major survey into the state of mobile phone coverage in the UK.

 

Over the course of the next month, the project will attempt to chart the availability of 3G and 2G services up and down the country.

 

Mobile operators offer their own coverage maps but no independent survey has yet been carried out. Measurements will be made using an app developed by network analysis firm Epitiro.

 

The software can be downloaded by anyone with an Android handset and will record street level coverage across Britain.

 

... there's more about how to get to the app in the article.

I read this today. I'll be honest my first thought was 'so what data are they going to steal?' before I remembered it was the BBC.
