webfact Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Thailand’s Central Administrative Court has dismissed a petition, seeking to put a hold an announcement by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) giving the green light to the merger plan between two mobile phone service providers, Total Access Communication, or DTAC, and True Corporation (True). The petition was filed by Napat Vinitchaikul, a member of the NBTC’s Monitoring and Evaluation Committee, who challenged the legitimacy of the telecom regulator’s announcement. The Central Administrative Court’s ruling, which was issued on June 16th, said that Nipat’s claim that the merger would harm the public interest is unfounded, as DTAC and True are still in the process of amalgamation and the setting up of a new entity, adding that the merger has not caused any damage as claimed.

IMO They are talking at two different ends of the scale, Nipat is stating a possible future problem, where as the Central Administrative Court is referring to the present 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Monopolies almost always hurt the public interest. For an official to think otherwise, he would have had have to sold his soul to the highest bidder. State some examples of how monopolies have benefitted the public good, if you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmitch Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I thought I read a short time ago that the Thai monopolies commission has rejected this. Maybe they work purely on an advisory basis, to be overturned by the Government to select whatever suits the big families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
