18 Q 10 Bangladesh Challenges/Constraints of Co deployment/co habitation Coordination among Entities Lack of Legal Coverage Planning Not Easy Benefits Not Clear/Lack of Awareness Financial Costs More than Benefits Entities Not interested/convinced Damage to FOCs during Construction Safety Hazard Security Hazard Other(s), Provide Suggestions Damage to FOCs during Construction. India Benefits are not clear, Safety and Security Hazard In India, draft for a common duct policy for inter city and intra city for various utilities is yet to be made. As such so far India does not has much experience. It is just the start. Safety of long and wider duct is a big problem. Sharing of cost by the infrastructure providers and CDA is a yet to be discussed by CoS.

19 Korea Myanmar Philippines Coordination among agencies/ entities, lack of legal coverage, planning is not easy, main Infrastructure Entities not interested/convinced, Suggestions: Government taking the initiative is important. That is, the government should take the initiative to provide legal grounds, formulate mid/long term plans, and support step by step implementation. Damage to fiber optic cables during construction Proper installation methodology should be used during the construction Coordination among agencies/ entities, lack of legal coverage, planning is not easy, benefits are not clear/ lack of awareness, damage to fibre optic cables during construction Damage to fiber optic cables during construction. In PNR s experience the fiber optic cables that is laid within the RoW were sometimes being damage by DPWH constructions. Russia Thailand Turkey Lack of legal coverage, damage to fiber optic cables during construction, safety hazard, security hazard, safety hazard Coordination among agencies/ entities, planning is not easy, benefits are not clear/ lack of awareness Coordination among agencies/ entities, lack of legal coverage, planning is not easy

23 Q 12 Does your country have any experience related to fibre optic cables installed/ deployed along highway or railway route(s) that cross(es) the national border and connects to the neighbouring country/ countries? The fibre optic cables were laid across the border of the neighbouring country/ countries at border crossing points: one two more within the country but at least in one case extends up to the border only within the country and does not reach the border not sure any note including the systems required/provided at the border interchange point (please specify) Bangladesh India Myanmar Philippines Only within the country and does not reach the border Only within the country and does not reach the border Only within the country and does not reach the border Only within the country and does not reach the border, Not Sure

24 Korea Only within the country does not reach the border. In 1996, the 52th ESCAP Infrastructure Ministerial Meeting adopted a resolution stating, We will make top priority for the restoration of the Railway on the peninsula (TKR; Trans Korean Railway) TKR route 1: total length of 945 km through Busan Seoul Kaesong Pyongyang Shinujiu has a problems of crossing the border. With the inter Korean summit in June 2000, the reconstruction work for the Gyeongui Line was initiated and a railway on the Korean peninsula was connected. During this reconnections, fiber optic cables were jointly deployed along the reconstructed Gyeongui Line linking Dorasan and Gaeseong Russia Thailand Across the border of the neighboring country/ countries at border crossing points, within the country but at least in one case extends up to the border Across the border of the neighboring country/ countries at border crossing points SRT and KTMB have been linkage both: telephone network. But expired with com link period. Turkey Across the border of the neighbouring country/ countries at border crossing points Greece and Bulgaria
