Most telecommunication service providers don’t remove damaged and old wires and cables, as they can’t be recycled or sold as scrap, according to Phuoc, who is heading a program to revamp telecom wires that began than two months ago.
While old and damaged wires are not removed, new ones are added, creating hanging “cobwebs”, making the city ugly and posing a serious safety hazard, the director said.
So far the company has tidied up 50 percent of the 237 kilometers of telecommunication wires and cables assigned for this year.
The program, expected to end in 2015, aims to clean up more than 5,000 kilometers of wires and cables at the average cost of VND150 million per kilometer.
