<p dir="ltr">Hi Tim,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thank you for such a call.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I can't develop as much as I would since I'm really busy this month.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Can you take care of this proposal please ?<br>

It intends to setup a model for telecoms local loops using telecoms=* and man_made=street_cabinet</p>
<p dir="ltr">You can also use street_cabinet=telecoms a lot to map connection points and mobile base stations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Finally, and regarding mobile telecom networks, there is this chart which try to illustrate components and relations to be made on a mobile station<br>

<div class="gmail_quot<blockquote class=" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
I'm working on a project to map telecommunication features with the<br>
aim to better understand what "The Internet" means geographically and<br>
physically.<br>
<br>
I have started collating a number of the various telecoms features to<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Telecoms" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Telecoms</a><br>
<br>
The categories of these features on that wiki page are:<br>
<br>
Cables<br>
Street Furniture<br>
Antennas / Masts / Towers<br>
Telephone Exchanges<br>
Internet / Telecoms Buildings<br>
Other<br>
<br>
And within the categories include well known and mapped features such<br>
as street cabinets (I've enjoyed the previous detailed discussion of<br>
this feature in particular!), submarine cables and data centres. There<br>
should be links to the main wiki pages discussing these tags there.<br>
<br>
It appears that the tagging of various telecom features has a fair few<br>
different tags in use. e.g. telecom=* and *=telecommunication and<br>
communication= and *=telecoms, telecommunications, telephone etc.<br>
<br>
I was reasonably surprised that, compared with other categories of<br>
features there hasn't been much discussion about these features as a<br>
whole and I think that could be a good thing!<br>
<br>
It's positive that some of these features have not been mapped as much<br>
as they occur outside as that give us some flexibility to look at how<br>
they should be tagged, and guide future mappers on how they might be<br>
better mapped... or am I being too optimistic? :-)<br>
<br>
I've populated the wikipage with taginfo counts of the various usages<br>
including some of the rarest ones that I have found. It doesn't really<br>
give that much useful information just yet...what should we add to<br>
make it better?<br>
<br>
Please feel free to dive in and edit and rearrange the wikiproject<br>
page, I'm certainly not a wiki expert.<br>
<br>
Are there more features we should add to this Wiki Project page?<br>
<br>
Should I add to the page the most common way they have been tagged,<br>
or, if discussion here is fruitful, the "best" way, or have<br>
recommendations for some common standard tags?<br>
<br>
Should we seek to standardise tags across the most common telecoms features?<br>
<br>
I was looking at the Power project and discussions, should discussion<br>
of features occur within a telecoms frame of reference, or does it<br>
basically depend on the number and types of users mapping them?<br>
<br>
Once the features are adequately documented, I seek to produce a JOSM<br>
and iD preset file for these features and will be producing<br>
transparent tilesets and data exports showing them within a dedicated<br>
website. I'll let you know once these two things have happened!<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
<br>
Tim<br>
(chippy)<br>
