Communication lines to be buried in bid to make Bangkok a smart city

By The Nation

 

 

From next year, many Bangkok roads will be free of the ugly power and communication lines that hang overhead at dangerous angles.

 

Digital Economy and Society Minister Buddhipongse Punnakanta handed over the plan to TOT acting president Morakot Thienmontree on Wednesday morning. The plan requires the reorganisation of communication lines in inner Bangkok, namely in Pathum Wan and Bang Rak districts, including Lang Suan Road, at the top of Soi Saladaeng and Soi Convent.

 

The minister said this policy supports the goal of turning Bangkok into a smart metropolis and expects the project to be completed by August 2021.

I forgot we are also going to be a smart city. For that we need smart administrators when will we get them?

Pattaya's doing the same, amazing how quickly all this smartness spreads, or might it simply be the prospect of a juicy cut for local officials and politicians off lots of expensive contracts?

Its going to take a hell of alot more than burying cables to make it a smart city!

Might as well bury your head in the sand, smart cities need smart people not corrupt generals and billionaires.
