GeoNames is a set of free and downloadable geographical databases of all countries which includes over 8 million place names.

The data comes in tab-delimited + utf-8 formatted text files and can be downloaded as a whole or per country.

Besides the locations of the places/cities/countries, databases include supplementary data like capitals, statistics, timezones and more.

GeoNames data can also be reached from their free webservice which can return results in XML and JSON.

Could really use a database of North American towns/cities and their corresponding NANP (north american numbering plan) ID's, if anyone happens to have one kicking around! Need area codes, and town/city codes.
