In Romania, over 200 incidents of accidental fiber optic cable cuts were reported in 2025, disrupting internet and phone services. Construction works often lead to these damages, affecting both businesses and public services. The National Authority for Management and Regulation in Communications (ANCOM) has proposed guidelines to prevent such incidents, emphasizing the need for coordination among stakeholders before starting construction. The guidelines recommend consulting communication operators, verifying existing infrastructure, and establishing clear communication channels. The aim is to minimize disruptions and associated repair costs, ensuring that infrastructure projects consider existing utility networks.
