A tangle of overhead telecom and broadcast cables close to a pedestrian bridge in the Rangsit area of Pathum Thani province. APICHIT JINAKULThe National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has passed harsher measures that will force all telecom and broadcasting operators to comply with more stringent regulations for wire cables. NBTC secretary-general Takorn Tantasith said the commission wants to ensure tidy cable installations for the sake of public safety. Overhead cable wires across smaller roads must be no lower than 5.5 metres in height from the ground. The government has been following its roadmap to complete putting all electricity wires and telecom cables underground in three provinces by 2020.
