A tower is commonly described as a really longer vertical infrastructure compared to its width. Human can usually go inside, instead of a mast. The same comparison could be done with building vs cabinets : human can only go inside the first. It can be completed by structure=*, material=*, colour, design... Theoretically, usage can be completed by tower=*, mast=*, pole=* like done with street_cabinet=* with well known values like : telecom, power, surveillance, water, and so on to stop confuse usage and structure inside one single key. Just beware of power towers or lighting poles to support telecom antennas Anyway, telecoms (communications, telecommunications, mobile phones, why not radio broadcast ?) should go in telecom=* key communication=*, telecommunications=*, communication:telecom=* may be not used any more for sake of consistency.
