As a tech, I believe is good cable management. After seeing these pics, I downed a whole bottle of asprin. At least now I know why my calls to Microsoft activation software get dropped. If any technician from India's telecomm is reading this....STRAIGHTEN OUT THOSE GAWD DAM CABLES!!!! ARGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Proof that cheaper is not always better. Leave it to the pros.
In the 2nd pic, I like how the street light looks like it is duct tape to some pole

Imagine a break in a line or an outage. Would be impossible to find the fualt. But if the pictures prove anything, they'd just run a new line rather then fix the old.

That's actually electricity stealth you're looking at. It's the reason India has to have rolling blackouts in several regions.

Is that like. Stealing electricity from power cables from lights etc.. I remember seeing how various Favela houses in Brazil did that. They just kinda tapped into the electricity or something. Quite clever, and if the authorities don't give a shit. You'll end up with the above pictures. Which isn't clever.

What a flipping mess that is. Pity they don't put the effort into the lecky like they do with their Curries, Cricket and Dancing. They also shit in the street and live on rubbish tips.
