I was more thinking about the possibility of mapping above ground phone/data 
cables. Not sure if any of them are strung on what could be considered a 
“tower” or if it’s always a “pole”…

 

So while there currently is primarily a power=tower + tower:type=*

 

I could see something like telecom=tower + tower:type=* also showing up at some 
point.

 

And to keep the possibility open that other types of “towers that hold cables 
up” are defined in the future, I don’t think tower:type=suspension should 
automatically imply power=tower if not explicitly tagged as such.

Not in any way involved with power mapping, but I don’t think tower:type should 
have necessarily any implications about what it is that’s being transmitted 
over the suspended cables.

 

I agree, in principle any power:type may be use to transmit any type of power 
(or not be used at all).
