1. A computer program product for providing improved coverage of data acquisition in a crowd sourced data acquisition environment, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processing circuit to cause the device to perform a method comprising: determining respective locations of multiple mobile devices within an area wherein data acquisition is desired;requesting transmission of desired data captured by sensors in the multiple mobile devices within the area;comparing multiple locations of mobile devices currently transmitting desired data to a desired coverage map of mobile device locations to produce a map showing missing coverage of desired data captured by sensors within the desired area;utilizing statistical analysis to determine a desired coverage needed for crowd sourcing the desired data to generate the desired coverage map;prioritizing acquisition of mobile devices in locations of missing coverage to capture the desired data within the desired area; andaggregating the transmitted desired data from the multiple locations of mobile devices and providing the aggregated data to an entity. 2. The computer program product of claim 1 further comprising: monitoring locations of mobile devices currently transmitting desired data; and responsive to a change in the locations of mobile devices transmitting desired data, changing the prioritizing acquisition of mobile devices. 3. The computer program product of claim 1 further comprising providing an incentive to mobile devices to capture and transmit the desired data based on the desired coverage map. 4. The computer program product of claim 3 further comprising individualizing the incentive for mobile devices based on the determined mobile device location. 5. The computer program product of claim 4 wherein the incentive is individualized based on user preferences and historical data. 6. The computer program product of claim 1 wherein the prioritization is weighted on the value of desired data in a specific area. 7. A data processing system for providing improved coverage of data acquisition in a crowd sourced data acquisition environment, the data processing system comprising: a processor; anda memory storing program instructions which when executed by the processor execute the steps of:determining respective locations of multiple mobile devices within an area wherein data acquisition is desired;requesting transmission of desired data captured by sensors in the multiple mobile devices within the area;utilizing the processor to compare multiple locations of mobile devices currently transmitting desired data to a desired coverage map of mobile device locations to produce a map showing missing coverage of desired data captured by sensors within the desired area;utilizing statistical analysis to determine a desired coverage need for crowd sourcing the desired data to generate the desired coverage map;prioritizing acquisition of mobile devices in locations of missing coverage to capture the desired data within the desired area; andaggregating the transmitted desired data in the memory from the multiple locations of mobile devices and providing the aggregated data to an entity. 8. The data processing system of claim 7 further comprising: monitoring locations of mobile devices currently transmitting desired data; and responsive to a change in the locations of mobile devices transmitting desired data, changing the prioritizing acquisition of mobile devices. 9. The data processing system of claim 7 further comprising providing an incentive to mobile devices to capture and transmit the desired data based on the desired coverage map. 10. The data processing system of claim 9 further comprising individualizing the incentive for mobile devices based on the determined mobile device location. 11. The data processing system of claim 7 wherein the prioritization is individualized based on user preferences and historical data. 12. The data processing system of claim 7 wherein the prioritization is weighted on the value of desired data in a specific area. 13. The data processing system of claim 7 wherein the content is selected from a group consisting of images, video, audio, sensor data, air quality, traffic congestion, weather information, and gas prices. 14. The data processing system of claim 9 wherein the incentive is selected from a group consisting of a summary of the crowd sourced data, recognition, monetary awards, coupons, free advertising, discounted air time, points, awards, discounts at local retailers, and airline miles. 15. The data processing system of claim 7 further comprising receiving position information from a plurality of mobile devices by a remote server prioritizing acquisition of mobile devices in locations of missing coverage. 16. The data processing system of claim 7 further comprising utilizing statistical analysis to determine a desired coverage needed for crowd sourcing the desired data to generate the desired coverage map. 17. The computer program product of claim 1 wherein the desired data is selected from a group consisting of images, video, audio, sensor data, air quality, traffic congestion, weather information, and gas prices. 18. The computer program product of claim 3 wherein the incentive is selected from a group consisting of a summary of the crowd sourced data, recognition, monetary awards, coupons, free advertising, discounted air time, points, awards, discounts at local retailers, and airline miles. 19. The computer program product of claim 1 further comprising receiving position information from a plurality of mobile devices by a remote server prioritizing acquisition of mobile devices in locations of missing coverage.
