- It's a service used widely in Ubuntu already: in the installer and the time indicator
- Being used in Ubuntu means that the usage and license of the data should already be taken care of
- The service has proven to be reliable for Ubuntu so far
- The data we're missing to make duplicate results distinctive is available in geonames.org, we just need to display it (this needs testing, but I believe we need only adminName2 or adminName3)
I'm leaning more towards geonames.org since:
