PM's office spokesman Anucha Buraphachaisri told Daily News yesterday that Thai PM Prayuth Chan-ocha had chaired a Digital Economy and Society meeting.

 

In the meeting the PM had pressed the National Telecom Public Company Ltd (NT) to work with local government and the private sector to make Thailand a wifi hub.

 

The PM - called Big Too by the media - wants to see more free wi-fi in places like educational establishments and offices for the benefit of his people.

 

He called on everybody to work together to increase capabilities. 

 

He also put his weight behind a 7 year goal, to be completed in 2027, to build human resources in the AI or artificial intelligence sector.

The Thai government announced it will be offering free public Wi-Fi in the Greater Bangkok area starting on Wednesday, and the rollout is part of its 30 billion baht (US$957 million) ICT masterplan called Smart Thailand.

 

So 2011 this is https://www.zdnet.com/article/thailand-wires-up-with-free-wi-fi/

This is actually a good idea. Knowledge intensive but low initial capital fields like software engineering, data science and machine learning are some of the fields that the government ought to be heavily promoting.

 

Waaaaay more realistic than booting up a pie in the sky space program.

"Thai PM gives the nod to country being free wi-fi and artificial intelligence hub"

 

Whenever I see yet another hub declaration this is more in line with what I'm thinking:

 

Thai PM gives the nod to country being free wi-fi and artificial  of intelligence hub

 

 

PS. I will hasten to add that this country has lots of smart people but sadly very few of them are in positions of power.

Free WiFi everywhere, those paying are going to see a big

drop in the speeds, unless the Government increase bandwidth

and increase gateways out of Thailand.

regards Worgeordie

But is it everywhere/everybody?

 

The report seems to indicate education institutions.
