I'm not so sure, really. On the face of it, phoning home your own MAC would seem a bit silly, especially if you're on a mobile device, but I guess it could be used as a tie-breaker if there wasn't sufficient data to be confident.

If the desktop you're using is running "host AP" software then Google and other *cough*mapping*cough* companies will have captured its MAC and SSID as they drove past, just like any other AP.
