Every local municipality already maintains GIS data, I imagine that some day these systems will automatically integrate into a public, open database like OSM.

Sidenote, the FOAM project is doing some interesting work into geospacial data on-the-blockchain.

At a regular (bi)monthly/quarterly OSM meetup we were joined by representatives from 2 or 3 local municipalities. It seems they might be interested in unification to reduce costs, but I didn't ask for details.
