What bothers citizens the most in the telecommunications sector isn't the decisions to raise tariffs, but rather the theft and violations against the components of the telephone system.
Imagine a large neighborhood or city in the suburbs of Damascus enduring an entire month or more without landline phones or internet, simply because of the actions of a few weak-minded individuals. That's one side of the story.
Regarding the issue of thefts, the director of the Rural Damascus Telecommunications Branch, Engineer Hussein Aweiti, explained to local sources that the branch suffers from cable theft problems in several areas by these same individuals. The most recent incidents involved cable theft in the Miskin Al-Shuhada area in Douma, as well as in the Sahneya area, where entire systems and solar power units were stolen.
On the other hand, according to Aweiti, there are challenges related to the arrival of sewage water into telephone inspection rooms in some areas of the province. He highlighted this in the Al-Hamah and Al-Araf areas, indicating that telecommunications workshops are working in collaboration with municipalities to address the problem.
Will the situation in the telecommunications sector persist in this context, or will we witness a transformation in the network sector that prevents theft by these individuals and brings joy to citizens despite service limitations?
