Hi, Thank you for your feedbacks.

I think it's important to distinguish places/buildings from services (DSL,POTS...) they host and kind of local loops connected to (copper, fibre, coax). Even if FCC wants to shut down legacy switches in favor of IP, the building will still be called a "central office" according to what a central office is but services provided may change or local loops enhanced. 2013/11/21 Florian Lohoff <f...@zz.de> > Germany had an import from all "Deutsche Telekom" COs > That's actually very nice ! > 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. > In my mind, MDF is only a functional part of a central office (like switches, DSLAM, power supplies). *We shouldn't summarize the building itself to a part inside it*, should you ? > But i'd favour a group of "telecomunication" based tags.

Before starting using it at a large scale : should we use telecom=* or telecom*S*=* ? Then, it seems we can still use "central_office" for such buildings, but : - Should we add services it provides ? (DSL,Cable TV,telephone...) - How would we distinguish a copper central office from optical or coax ones ? Be careful, a copper one can be an optic one or coax one too.
