Can I have a copy of the Sitefinder Database?
The data within Sitefinder is owned by the mobile network operators, who supplied it on a voluntary basis. It is presented in an agreed format as the underlying data is regarded as commercially and security sensitive. Ofcom does not have the Industry’s consent to release either the data or any other derivations from it . We are not, therefore, supplying the underlying dataset to any enquirers. Legal proceedings are ongoing to consider the applicability of the Freedom of Information Act and associated legislation to such network data.

Ofcom does not have the Industry’s consent to release either the data or any other derivations from it. Because of an ongoing legal process arising from a Freedom of Information request, there is uncertainty whether Ofcom may have to disclose the underlying dataset at some point. Meanwhile we are not, therefore, able to supply the underlying dataset to any enquirers.
