AIS Takes Lead in Cleaning Up Thailand's Messy Power Poles

[snoop1130]

 

AIS is making a strong push to clean up Thailand's cluttered power poles, aiming to boost public safety and city aesthetics. Teaming up with the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), AIS sent engineers to Rayong's Ban Chang district to organize and clear telecommunications cables from power poles.

 

This initiative seeks to lower accident risks and improve the visual appeal of the city. Overseeing the project, PEA’s Deputy Governor of Business and Marketing, Prasit Chanprasith, stressed the importance of maintaining organized infrastructure for public safety and network efficiency.

 

 

For years, Thailand's power poles have been notorious for their tangled wires, posing risks like electrical fires. AIS is stepping up its corporate social responsibility with this clean-up, further aligning with government calls for better regulation and management.

 

Residents and businesses in Rayong appreciate the effort, seeing it as a step towards safer and more modern streets. With AIS leading these clean-ups, it’s expected that more Thai cities will soon see similar improvements, making urban landscapes safer and tidier, reported The Thaiger.

Too little to late. Looking across the upper balcony of my home in the rice paddies of Udon Thani I can count 65 coms cable's of which I know for a fact 20 are obsolete - olde copper WIFI connections. One of em, mine.

Only once in 23 years have I seem em pull out an old, redundant fibre multycore.

If the cable they remove are old copper cable, then its explain why they do it.
Copper price are high and those cable have a market value.

In France case of people  stealing copper cable from public network  have become comon outside of ours city (where the cable are all underground  and not easy to stole)

Give them credit where credit is due. At least they are trying which no one else seems interested.

So they're patting themselves on the back for removing obsolete cables that they themselves left on the poles?

Where would you start?

 

I wonder what gov't agencies have cables in this mess?

 

I wonder if this includes cables installed by old style 'Cable TV' companies? And do these companies now use the internet to distribute their product? Therefore their physical cables are redundant?

 

If these cables from private companies? Do they have documented permission to us these poles to string their cables?
