The 3G spectrum auction was carried out under the Frequency Allocation Act of 2010, not the e-auction rules cited by some critics, Suthipol Thaweechaikarn, a member of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), said on Friday.
Article 45 of the law clearly stipulates that the auction must be held in line with the conditions, regulations and timeframe set by the NBTC, he said.
Mr Suthipol insisted that NBTC would not revoke the auction even though the e-auction committee at the Ministry of Finance had sent a letter to NBTC, warning that the auction might have violated the law.
