I am trying to say the tag page is wrong,
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:manhole=telecom
the picture is a fiber optics splice enclosure not a manhole
https://www.multicominc.com/product/pencell-pem-2436-24x36x24-buried-cable-enclosure/
https://www.thefoa.org/tech/ref/install/Microtrenching/Pages/25.html
https://www.thefoa.org/tech/ref/appln/Prefab-underground.jpg
this is a fiber splice manhole,
https://www.jensenprecast.com/AT-T-Northern-California-a840/Telecom-Utility-Structures/Manholes-p14890/AT-T-4-x4-x4-fiber-optic-Intercept-Manhole-Page-1-of-2-d2315.pdf
can we change the picture or put both on the same page with the legal industry
names.
