Latvian rivals telco Lattelecom and cable operator Baltkom have recently apparently been struggling against a common enemy thieves who target their cable networks.
Lattelecom yesterday welcomed the arrest, following a joint operation by Latvian police and its own security department, of an organised gang that had targeted the operatorÂs fibre-optic infrastructure in the Teikâ district of Riga since last October. Baltkom meanwhile has reported that the theft of optical cables has disrupted services in the same district.
