The country's Olympics broadcast rights holder insists all viewers will be able to watch the games this month, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) said yesterday.

Television Pool of Thailand, or TV Pool, says it will broadcast all copyrighted programmes from London to all viewers regardless of their reception platforms, NBTC's broadcasting committee chairman Natee Sukonrat said after meeting TV Pool chairman Lt Gen Sunthorn Sophonsiri.

The broadcasting committee yesterday also approved a draft of "must-carry" rules after more than three months of study.

I hope that the result of the new rules in not simply that international rights holders stop making deals that allow content to be shared with free-TV operators.
