Locations where TRCs Team Work do On-Site Inspection during May 2015 TRC 2015 Confidential Russian Federation Blvld and Street 271 Kro Moun Sor And Preah Ang Duong Avenues, Sisovat Blvd. Norodom and Mao Tse Tong Blvds. Preah Neruh and Kampuchea Krom Blvds Oknha Klaing Moeurng Street and Preah Sihanuk Blvd Very messy like spider webs Out of orders and standards

Why it become like those ? Come up from operators : Do not care during the installation; Do not follow up in accordance of technical standard; During the maintenance or repairing their own cables, do not taken out the damaged cables; Do not compliance with Environment Impact Standard; Come up from institutions of Poles Rental : Inho Have right to rent the poles for Telecom Operators to hang; Event those institutions are set up the standard and specifications for hanging on electrical poles or telephone poles for operators, but do not follow up and enforce to operation violation; To allow all operators to hang their cables across the main road, Boulevard, and any road in city TRC 2015 Confidential

Why does Aerial Cable come to existence ? Several major factors are arising the aerial cable in the telecommunications sector today in Cambodia as below : a). Inadequate OSP infrastructure in place when new carriers are coming. b). A shift in business and commercial telephones to VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) services, that is telephone via the Internet; c). Intense competition between ISPs d). Exponentially increases in Internet usage for communica- tions of all types; e). Quick installation f). Lower cost than underground system TRC 2015 Confidential

What are risks which coming from the Current cable aspect/ situation ? TRC 2015 Confidential RISK Fire affects to Electricity Currents Loose Quality because of Lightning, Wet and cut off by any means Traffic Obstacle and Road Accident Messy in Phnom Penh and Cities

Why do we need to reform and strengthen this cable ? Need space for Public Constructions such as Sky Bridge or Skyway Etc. To ensure beauty and secure safety of people in Phnom Penh, Cities and Provinces within the whole country. To enforce the use of public infrastructure. To protect existing cable systems from being damaged as shown in previous presentations. Using underground cable means for outside plant network can provide quality, beauty, no environmental impact and improve the quality of network. TRC 2015 Confidential

Solution Choice 1 : Change to Underground Cable means Use Underground Tube Systems Direct Buried to underground Choice 2 : Change to Underground Cable means only at the main areas which crossing Blvds, Roads and Avenues and relocate Cable Aerials along the streets. Use the existing or new Underground tube Systems Use the totally insulated support to hang Cable Aerials along the streets. TRC 2015 Confidential

Direct Buried to underground TRC 2015 Confidential

Solution (Choice 1) TRC 2015 Confidential

Underground Cable Means (Choice 1) The act of burying in underground tube or direct burry are either expensive even if the operators are responsible by their own or rental from CFOCN/TC/Camintel Meet difficulties if we request permission to do cabling work and it is affect to mind set of people, environmental impact (Traffic, Beauty and Safety) during operation. Bury in Underground Tube System and relocate those cables which are crossing along the streets (Choice 2) Spend less if we relocate the cable laying across Blvds and Main Roads to underground system and modify the Cable Aerials System which are laying along the streets. It is applicable and not affect to peoples mindset and Social environment at the time of operation. TRC 2015 Confidential

Measuring and Instruction from Phnom Penh Municipality Notification by MPTC, TRC and EDC to all Telecommunication Cable Operators Operators who complied with the Instruction TRC 2015 Confidential

Basic Recommendations Minimize or stop laying new aerial cables, especially crossing over the roads and Blvds in Cities, Provinces and Phnom Penh. Should offers two solutions for the network of underground telecommunication cables infrastructure which is crossing road: in urban areas operators are required to share (conduits, manhole or handhole & cables riser pipe), while other areas operators can work together on the basis of economic relations. All operators should coordinate with EDC and other relevant units to create the plan of arrangement and to compact the bundles aerial cable along the road in metropolitan area. Appoint a single operator/company to coordinate, implement and build the conduit system crossing the street. Specifically in urban areas which are required to be shared. Shall purchase cable with print in label name of company permanent on cable shield. TRC 2015 Confidential

Basic Recommendations Management of aerial cable is done by sorting bundle of compact, indicating type sign (cable tag) and maintaining the minimum span. Select proper cable types and accessories suitable with installation method and environment conditions. Promote efficiency in the preventive maintenance ones own OSP network. Modify each span cable along the street by deploying the totally insulated support for all aerial cables together. Suitable poles will be used depending on the particular size and weight of cable. The aerial cables must be placed high enough to preserve safety in metropolitan areas TRC 2015 Confidential

Basic Recommendations Telco operators, ISPs and cable TV companies should adopt standards, new technologies, modern techniques for OSP network to intensify coordination and cooperation to ensure successful implementation to preserve the urban landscape for cleaner, safer and fresher atmosphere aimed at gradually moving to "Civilizations Modernization. Encourage Telco operators /ISPs to share the existing underground facilities infrastructure if not, there wont be enough space available for new construction. When constructing the network of underground telecommunication cables which are crossing main streets, we shall offer solutions to promote joint construction of the conduit system (infrastructure). Operators must ensure that all construction of new conduit system should be done in way that is available for future use (space for expansion). TRC 2015 Confidential
