Thailand's hopes for third generation mobile phone services face another potential legal obstacle after CAT Telecom's labour union said it will pressure the company to file a lawsuit with the Administrative Court to stop the auction of 3G licences on Sept 20.

Mobile phone operatorsandrelated businesses are upbeat about the National Telecommunications Commission’s 3.9G exhibition at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center which is aimed at broadening people’s knowledge of cutting-edge 3.9G technology following the long delay in the 3Gauction.

The court yesterday dismissed a lawsuit by the union to stall the process on the grounds that the union was not directly damaged and therefore did not have the right to file the case.
