You could add the operator tag to indicate the owner.

Worry? No.

The tag operator=* could be used, if you want.

[talk-au] Mobile phone towers

Hi

Just putting a nearby newish mobile tower on the map.

Due we worry about naming who's tower it is?

Couldn't see anything in the wiki about it.

Thanks

[talk-au] Mobile phone towers

 The other items I've been noticing in tagwatch are:

 These are just a couple of examples but there are/were a number of others, 
 I've fixed some of them.

 They are never going to be shown on a map because of how the renderers work.

On the topic of mobile phone towers (Base Transceiver Stations), I've 
been busy tagging them as amenity=bts and sometimes as operator=Telstra 
etc (where known).

In doing this, I'm following a proposal under discussion since there 
seems no more accurate way of tagging them.

I intend finding them again and fixing them if the consensus on tagging 
goes some other way.

This is the way it should work when proposals are developed to in use.

I changed the one from Commnications Tower to man_made=tower name=Optus, 
Telstra, etc

Did you add tower:type=communication?

One of the nice things about tagging as amenity=bts instead of tagging 
as a tower is that many urban BTSs are on buildings, lamp posts, etc.

But tall ones can be tagged as both of course:
