Billion rials of cables remain idle

Although landline phone was sold on demand during ninth government, Tehran telecommunication companies’ managers have been complaining on its lack of development and upgrading at their centers.
30- 40 percent of Tehran centers’ executive jobs, such as maintenance, are carried out by the private sector.
Installation of landline phone in Tehran takes several months despite on demand sale advertisements.
At present, there is huge demand by Tehran residents to have landline phone but there are limitations especially for ADSL services.
