"Here is where you get to watch the news about the rest of the world," "Here is where you watch the broadcast educational stuff," kind of thing. But that's probably better handled as some sort of amenity tag (here is where you can watch TV) rather than a physical mapping of dishes. That said, as you observed, there seem to be a lot of dishes in that image so I wouldn't map them as they're not for the public. I could see where it might be useful to somebody to map them to show the uptake of the technology in given areas, but that's what uMap is for. If that's why Enock wants to do it, I might be amenable to a new tag that doesn't get rendered which could be picked up on uMap automagically with an overpass-turbo query, but maybe the db guys would object to that level of clutter. -- Paul
