Tepco's $6.8B Olympian Challenge

The video discusses TEPCO's task of removing utility poles in Tokyo to improve the city's aesthetics for the 2020 Olympics. It compares Japan's overhead cables with other cities like London and Paris, where cables are underground. The financial burden of this project is significant, with costs estimated at 6.8 billion USD, shared between the government and companies like TEPCO and NTT Docomo.
