Is the idea to have a network map of an enclosed local loop? Is a loop a mappable thing in its own right and if so do you think that a local loop be represented as a relation perhaps? > > Finally, and regarding mobile telecom networks, there is this chart which > try to illustrate components and relations to be made on a mobile station > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Radio_antennas_mapping_proposal.png That's a lovely detailed explanation, thanks. For street cabinets. Heat and sound. Are these side effects of the street cabinet? I pass one which sometimes in the warm weather you can hear a fan running, but in the winter I have not noticed any visible melting of ice around it, could it just be dependent on weather, or is it a permanent feature, I wonder?
