Hello,
I saw on gislist@geocomm.com that the OS will be dropping its 1:50,000 scale
(1 point per 50 metre) digital elevation data product. As you no doubt are
aware this is a very useful data set for modelling the UK in a wide variety
of GIS and 3D modelling packages.
I would urge you to continue providing the data set. If you don't want to
sell it, please consider providing free public access to it and put it into
the public domain so that users can continue to have access to it. I work
for a GIS company, www.manifold.net, that would be pleased to host the data
set for free downloads from our FTP servers as a public service to UK users.
No doubt many other sites like www.geocomm.com (who provide free access to
USGS SDTS DEMs) would also be willing to provide free FTP access to this
data. So, please don't just throw this data set away or make it
inaccessible. At least allow us and other companies or universities
operating public access FTP sites to provide it to those who need this data
set.
If you are not the person making the decision on this, please forward my
letter to the right people.
Sincerely,
Dimitri Rotow
