+## Cable Installation
+
+### Background
+
+In the initial phases of cable installation in Male' and Hulhmale', the responsibility of installing cables was entrusted to companies such as Dhiraagu, Medianet, and ROL. However, when Ooredoo entered the market to provide internet services, they encountered challenges in establishing their own cable infrastructure in Male'. Consequently, they had to form a partnership with Medianet and utilize their existing cable network to deliver Ooredoo internet services.
+
+### Lessons Learned and Implementation
+
+Taking valuable insights from this experience, Urbanco undertook the task of cable installation in Hulhmale' Phase 2. This strategic decision aimed to ensure a smoother and more efficient process for enabling multiple service providers to offer their services. As a result, Phase 2 of Hulhmale' now boasts the availability of Ooredoo, Medianet, Dhiraagu, and ROL services, facilitated by Urbanco's proactive approach to cable installation.
