The previous telecom minister promised institutions and banks to be connected to the fiber network by the mid to end 2016, guess what, it didn’t happen.

When the 2020 plan was designed, underground fiber optic cables were supposedly the way to go (this takes time as holes have to be digged in order to lay the cables).

Then suddenly, they decided to switch to aerial cable, which should take a lot less time (and money) to install but are not as robust (think about a random car accident that might damage a pole and cut some cables).

Still, while supposedly reducing the infrastructure installation time by at least 2/3, they still managed to be late.

I haven’t seen a single worker laying fiber cables either underground or overhead since 2015, until some real infra work starts, this is all BS.
