The National Telecoms state enterprise labor union network, composed of the NT company union, the Defenders of TOT, the TOT staff alumni association, CAT staff alumni association have joined together with analysts to oppose a merger between True and DTAC.

 

The group called for the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) to stop the incipient merger. 

 

Prasarn Ja-ngu-leuam, President of the NT labor union and representative of the network of NT state enterprise labor union, said that the merger between True and DTAC would have a direct impact on the operations of National Telecommunications Plc (NT), and there would also be effects on free market competition in the domestic telecom business.

Wish them good luck fighting the almighty tycoon clan that buys up this country. It's an absolute scandal that no monopoly watch is standing up against.

Yes im sure some people got nice brown enveloppes. It really is crazy their own law forbids it and a blind man can see this will cause damage but they let it happen.

Can anyone tell me exactly what the Monopolies Commission does?

 

The two fairly recent obvious objects for investigation would surely have to be the take-over of Tesco Lotus and the amalgamation of Dtac and True Visions.

 

And yet, what has happened?  Both were approved, despite obvious monopoly claims!  Just what has the Monopolies Commission done so far and at what cost to the taxpayer?

I dont think they work for the taxpayer or consument but take their kickbacks from the company to tell them they cant do it then get compensated and allow it. (ok really negative view but with decisions like that it just shows corruption as it breaks their own rules)
