That's right it's a building and not a street_cabinet.
Except building=service, I won't add anything else for now.

The proposal only regards local loop fixed landlines, other document will
be needed to deal with mobile networks.
For me, communication:*, telecommunication=* should finally be converted to
telecom=* for physical paths and devices.

telecom=* is proposed as follow :
"It is proposed to use telecom
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:telecom>=* key to map telecom
copper, fibre and coaxial local loops networks."
It doesn't cover services or logical functionalities yet but only static
physical infrastructure of networks (if Virgin uses AT&T network to provide
a service, then operator=AT&T and not operator=Virgin)

That may be true, but out of the scope of the proposal.
street_cabinet=cable_tv may sound inconsistent since tv is a service
provided on top of coaxial infrastructure (I didn't have the same point of
view back in 2014). Especially when Internet is also provided over the same
coaxial network.
Then, it's equivalent to map :
man_made=street_cabinet + street_cabinet=cable_tv +
telecom=connection_point + telecom:medium=coax
man_made=street_cabinet + street_cabinet=telecom + telecom=connection_point
+ telecom:medium=coax

I'll try to add such example in the proposal.
Replacing street_cabinet=cable_tv by street_cabinet=telecom +
telecom:medium=coax isn't such a big deal and can be discussed here without
requiring a proper proposal with vote.

All the best

François
