Abstract
The present invention is related to methods and systems for correlating telecommunication antenna infrastructure placement information to provide telecommunication quality of service information. In one embodiment, a system includes a database configured to store cellular antenna location information for a plurality of cellular antennas associated with a first service provider, and to store cellular antenna placement information for a plurality of antennas associated with a second service provider. The system further includes a first instruction configured to transmit a request over a network to a first terminal for a user to identify a first location in which the user intends to utilize cellular service, a second instruction configured to request the user to identify a travel route connecting to the first location on which the user uses cellular service, a third instruction configured to determine the cellular coverage provided by the first service provider for areas along the travel route.
