I agree that there is potential there for other, less than kind, uses of that database. Offhand, I can't think of what... and it's not like it's that hard to figure out where most of us live, anyway... but the potential is definitely there.
Even so... for now at least, if someone is interested in using the new bands, this is a risk one will have to evaluate and then decide if it's too big of a risk, enough to make them pass on using the bands.
