Germany had an import from all "Deutsche Telekom" COs Example http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/307194821 Its a man_made=MDF (Main Distribution Frame) - ONKZ is the area code which is variable length in Germany and we have approx. ~6000 of them. A CO/MDF in Germany will be identified through their Area-Code ONKZ and the ASB (Anschlussbereich) which is a segment of that area code. But i'd favour a group of "telecomunication" based tags. There is more to be mapped e.g. what we call Kabelverzweiger (Kvz) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabelverzweiger or the German "Oberirdische Linie" e.g. poles for telecommunication cables. Most cables in Germany are in the ground except in the "Outback" where we have utility poles. But typically we dont have utility pole sharing between telecommunication and power. http://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:OberirdischeLinie_Endmast.jpg Flo -- Florian Lohoff [email protected]
