Thailand’s opposition Move Forward party is urging the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) to block the planned merger between two mobile phone service operators, True Corporation (True) and Total Access Communication (DTAC).

 

Move Forward party leader, Pita Limjaroenrat, said today (Thursday) that the board has the power to do so and to follow the recommendations from all four panels formed by the NBTC to study the potential impacts of the planned merger.

 

The panels tasked with studying economic and consumer impacts, people’s rights, impacts on technologies and on legal affairs have already submitted their findings to the NBTC board, containing similar recommendations, namely that the merger should be stopped as it could lead to market control.
