17 companies line up for 3G

Published: 27 Sep 2012 at 18.41
Online news:

A total of 17 companies have picked up application forms for Thailand's imminent third-generation (3G) auction for the 2.1-gigahertz spectrum, one month after the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission's notice of availability.

However, it is widely expected by industry observers that only three major mobile operators - Advance Info Service (AIS), Total Access Communications (DTAC) and True Move - will participate in the bid.

As of Thursday - the last day for interested companies to pick up the forms - 17 companies from 11 groups had picked up the 3G application forms.

RE: D5 that is because of the argument on which "government sponsored enterprise" will get the biggest cut of the spoils.

Re: D1 that would be in about the same year that the rest of the world is on the G9 version. Or it could be the same year that the politically elite of all colored shirts can figure out how to profit from it and pass off the cost onto the general public.

When is the cue going to start for 4G? Thailand is falling far behind the developed world in communications. Too bad this place is so corrupt. It slows progress to a snails pace.
