Advanced Info Service (AIS), the country's largest mobile operator, has allocated 8 billion baht in additional spending to almost double its 3G and 2G data network capacities this year.
The special budget will be used to increase the number of its 3G base stations on the 900-megahertz frequency from 1,900 now to 3,500 by June and to boost Edge and WiFi network capacity.
"The capacity expansion is expected to alleviate massive mobile data traffic congestion," said Mark Chong Chin Kok, the chief operating officer.
