BANGKOK Governor Chadchart Sittiphan supervised the removal of dead cables at Thonglor road today (August 25) to speed up a project to tidy up communication lines running through 800 kilometres of the metropolis within two years, Naewna newspaper said. 

 

He was accompanied by Mrs. Pirongrong Ramsut, secretary-general National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission, with this being the Office of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission’s (NBTC) project.

 

“NBTC is the host and many agencies are cooperating including Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) ,the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA), entrepreneurs, commissioners and MPs who have been pushing this project all along. It’s a good sign that NBTC has a project to tidy up messy communication lines with 50% being unused.

Two years sounds optimistic but if it is to be done, and it should be, you have to start somewhere.

There's a fundamental and insoluble problem: “Organising is the first step".

 

And: Once these lines have been tidied up BMA will issue an announcement that operators have to either get a permit from NBTC or MEA to run these lines if not they will not be allowed to do so.

 

We all know how conscientious people/companies are about applying for permits, and how diligent the authorities are blind to the lines that will be put up regardless,

Great 50%  now they should ask themselves how did that happen in the first place,  then ask themselves what preventive measure are being put in place so that 50% don't show up again? 

In Pattaya,  they are doing the same thing but even after removing the dead wires there seems to still be hundreds worse part while it is being cleaned up the workers are adding and storing wires wrapped up at each pole used as storage.

Nothing has changed! ????

When I read the bit about 50% useless I thought they were talking about the Government in Bangkok.
