And how would you map such things ? Concrete mast with low voltage power line, wifi antenna and communication cables. http://www.satcontact.fr/sites/default/files/SIEA-pbbt1.jpg
Concrete poles with optical fiber and medium voltage power line. http://mlebon.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83454563069e2016762e8ff59970b-800wi All that stuff is currently tagged with power=pole but we are far from only having power here. Do you think average mappers will only see power at first sight ? *François Lacombe* francois dot lacombe At telecom-bretagne dot eu http://www.infos-reseaux.com 2013/9/2 alessandro zardo <[email protected]> > > > It's already used for the poles but don't you think it's transformers > > which deserve the most the usage of power=* ? > > >In this case no. > >From an electrical viewpoint the transformer is of course important. > However, is this the most important aspect for the average user?
