the subject.
Ministry of Information & Communication Technology PR department quotes Mohammad Bagher Zohourifar, Communication Infrastructure chief, as saying such cases fell by 10% over the previous year, though it rose for fiber-optics.
He indicated that construction works have been the main cause, and the ministries of Roads and Oil between them have caused 25% of such cuts.
He said his company has sought alternative routes to counter the effect of cuts.
He believed the country’s construction could not be halted, but an effort to raise awareness of the authorities concerned could help alleviate the problem.
He added CIC is prepared to re-route some of the cables if such action eased construction activities.
