Hello my name is Austin and I am also in the local community doing
the import.
I work on cell towers and can answer a few of these questions.
1. Yes they do have a regular street address just like a house.
2. We have looked at satellite imagery for a few and we will looks
at them all during the import as part of the QA process.
3. Yes it is intentional that there is no stated purpose. Tower
companies build tower with things in mind but it's really just vertical
real estate that they will rent for anything. I've seen space rented for
amateur radio. Also things change on the towers as leases run out, for
instance T-MOBILE starts using a new frequently and now they need less
towers in a area and decommission one where they were the only cell
carrier on the tower but there is still FM on the tower. So listing a
purpose for the towers even if we could would not be a good idea since
we could not update them. There are some projects out there to track and
monitor who is on a tower but that is outside of the scope of this import.
4. Mike might want to add to this one but, That will be made on a
case by case basis, and I don't think it will be much of a issue as
Very! few towers in our area are mapped to begin with, I'm sure less
than 1%.
-- Back to Mike---
To expand on what Austin mentioned -
3 - I did overlook the tower:type tag, and have added that tag to the
data now.
4. The existing data has one tag conflict, but I believe the new tag
conforms to OSM standards (tower:type=pole instead of the more common
tower:type=freestanding).
Regards,
Mike

Thanks for good import documentation!
1. Are you sure that these towers have addr:housenumber?
2. Have you checked at least some masts/water towers
to confirm that official data is correct?
3. Is it deliberate that tower purpose is not mentioned in the imported
data?
4. Is it a good idea to overwrite data on existing objects by new data
in cases
where tags conflict (point 6 of workflow will lead to that)?

Proposing an import for 122 Cellular Towers (and merge tags with 7
existing towers in OSM). Plan is at
