The laying of underground water pipes by the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) also poses a major threat to operations of telcos, Mr Koranteng added. According to him, between 2018 and 2019 the telecommunication company MTN alone lost revenue of over Ghc39 Million as a result of fiber cuts. Ghana revenue authority (GRA) also lost revenue of Ghc17 million as a result of the fibre cut inference in MTN operations within the period. The company is, therefore, calling on road contractors and staff of Ghana Water Company across the country to abide by best practice in ensuring their work does not affect MTN’s operation nationwide.
