services and vendors are on the tower, building, pole, whatever. A
tower ID to lat-long database will certainly be useful, but the real
problem is what frequency to use. For example, for LTE:

the bands in use world wide are many and varied. Same with TDM vs
FDM, full duplex vs half duplex, odd splits. Then, there are
sub-bands for each vendor. Notice the number of question marks in
above tables.
You could use GPS coordinates or just scan all the frequencies:

LTE is a pain, we're just moving from a global 3G/UMTS product to LTE.
This means a different antenna design, LTE module version and whatever
for each region and even operator specific ones :-(
