The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) is being urged to move ahead with a migration plan to integrate mobile users on networks whose concessions are due to expire.
On Sept 15, concessions for True Move, a unit of True Corporation, and Digital Phone, a unit of Advanced Info Service, are set to expire under agreements with state-owned CAT Telecom.
Deunden Nikomborirak, a member of the NBTC panel reviewing the 1800-MHz reallocation scheme, said the NBTC must set clear migration rules to minimise disruption in service to the estimated 17 million subscribers using the 1800-MHz bandwidth for 2G services with True Move and Digital Phone.
