I would be in favour of man_made=utility_pole, only if it can catch ALL
utilities: power, telecom, cable tv...
But since it was rejected to refine power=pole as man_made=utility_pole (or
equivalent), then telecom=pole should be used to be consistent with what
currently exists.

To me (and I may be wrong), the simplest rule would be to look what is the
highest on the pole
If it's telecom cables, then use telecom=pole
It's not perfect, but I don't see any better rule, not to mention
man_made=utilitiy_pole
