Avila, interviewed by the Davao media during Kapehan sa SM at SM City Davao today (March 17) said that City Hall project will be the benchmark for a future underground cable system in the city.
He said that some of the telecommunication cables in the city hall area are already buried underground.
The City Councilor bared that that the City thru City Administrator Melchor Quitain has already formed a team to look into combining all telecommunication cables into a fiber-optic network and separating it from power cables.
The City’s current wires and cables fixture is a vertical aboveground cable system where power, telecommunication and media cables are hung over poles.
The City Councilor says he is also eyeing measures to fix tangled and messy wires as it has become an eyesore long the subject of complaints by many residents. (PIA/RG Alama)
