The 808-foot antenna for radio station WSM fits both the tower and mast
descriptions we are using.

but in these cases there would typically be a room in the tower, i.e. the
pole is there to support something on top, or is big and hollow and
accessible in the inside.
this is not a tower:

I agree with this vision, but in the last case, which we also see very
often in my country (The Netherlands), one still could say that we see a
mast on top of a tower, like this one:

Which creates even more confusion.
A tower is built on the spot where you see it. But a mast is very often
constructed elsewhere and simply erected on the spot where you see it,
although I’m not sure if we can use this in our decision on how to tag.
