Deputy PM Prawit, NBTC discuss adoption of 5G technology

 

   

The Deputy Prime Minister, Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan, and the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) have had a meeting to advance the adoption of the fifth generation (5G) of mobile technology in Thailand, in the hope of reducing social disparity and upgrading the country’s infrastructure.

 

Gen. Prawit chaired the meeting on 5G development. He said the 5G spectrum license auction will lead to major economic changes, as the technology will bring numerous benefits to the general public. The government hopes that the NBTC and the private sector will work together to launch the 5G network promptly.

 

Gen. Prawit followed up on the NBTC’s work related to 5G technology. The commission takes into account the benefits that the state and the people will receive from structural changes in the country in terms of production, finance, politics, public health and agriculture.

 

The government has a policy to ensure that its benefits will carry through to the people to help reduce social disparity and support an elderly society. The benefits will encompass access to medical services, smart farming, education enhancement, better job opportunities and income and community economic development.

 

They will bring about sustainable development from the community level to the national level. Security and safety aspects of this technology must be considered, as most users are the people, who are the foundation of the Thai economy.

 

The NBTC Secretary-General, Takorn Tantasith, said today his agency acknowledges the government’s policy and is ready to support and implement it. According to the NBTC’s projections, the adoption of the 5G technology will create an economic value of 177.03 billion baht, or 1.02% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). In 2021, the economic value will increase to 322 billion baht, with more private firms investing in this technology.

First thing he asked was, what financial benefit is in it for me.

I really don't see how 5G is going to be that much better than the 4G we already have for any of the above, especially given the enormous expense of the infrastructure needed plus the health worries regarding the microwave frequencies it will be using.

You can't be wrong there, as big P must have very little knowledge of the new technology.

With 5g you will not need a microwave oven to cook your mama noodles...A whole city will be the microwave oven...

This country won't fully accept the advantages of 5G...and as for companies and government going digital, it just ain't gonna happen.

When cash is taken out of transactions and payments are completely digital....theft of public monies will become so much more difficult.

Can anyone imagine the RTP, including Immigration, Customs etc, accepting a non cash situation?

Naaahhhh, you got it completely wrong. With a mammoth screen in front of him nobody feels insulted if he takes a well deserved nap after the lengthy negotiations on the three submarines while winding up all his wrist watches .......

If 5G is ever implemented, they will be cutting down all the trees.  For those who survive the microwaves at that time, I suggest you get into the timber industry because you will make a killing!!!

Hmm, not a coincidence to have 'killing' and 'microwave' in the same sentence.

If he should manage it (with some help) he won't shut it off, ever.

This is moreover the situation in which the inhabitants of Ban Mikrowave are in the province of Mae Hong Son;
killed by the waves propagated by the multiple radio communication antennas which are installed above their village.
it without saying but it is better to write it that it is not a village of Thai but of Hmongs
