BANGKOK, 20 January 2015 (NNT) – The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) is seeking to put telephone cables in Bangkok underground, as the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) will not longer allow additional telecom cables to be carried on electricity poles.

The NBTC met with representatives from telecom companies and the MEA on Monday to discuss the issue of telecom cables that are routed alongside electric cables on electricity poles, after the MEA's refusal to allow installation of additional telecom cables on electricity poles had become an issue with telecom companies seeking to increase bandwidth and channels. The MEA was relocating all its power cables in Bangkok underground along roads instead of on electricity poles. - See more at: http://thainews.prd.go.th/centerweb/newsen/NewsDetail?NT01_NewsID=WNICT5801200010001#sthash.ijjtp7mX.dpuf

Well finally MEA has finally gotten tired of the mess they themselves have permitted to proliferate for an extremely long time. It will be good to see the eyesore that much of the commspace is all over bangkok become rationalized or moved underground. Though somehow I think what is already there maybe long term residents way into the future.

And to be clear people the mess in the electrical poles is not electrical service its communication services not electrical services which you usually cannot see far above as its obscured by the rats nests.

I say put all cables underground
