The opposition to the planned merger of 2 of Thailand’s leading mobile phone operators – True Corporation Plc (TRUE) and Total Access Communications Plc (DTAC), continues to see opposition from various segments of the society and yesterday yet another petition was sent to the Norwegian embassy in Bangkok opposing the planned merger of the 2 telco firms.

 

Somboon Bunyapirom, a lawyer, submitted a letter stating 3 earnestly requests concerning the merger between TRUE and DTAC to the Norwegian embassy in Thailand to pass on and request Telenor to cancel the merger.

 

Somboon also requested the Norwegian government to consider whether the merger proposal of the two companies was in line with the Guiding Principles of the United Nations concerning business and human rights.

Quite true, but Thailand's rich love monopolies, more money, power and control for them.

 This will probably just be laughed at...

I cannot see foreign nations' embassies becoming involved in another nation's business dealings short of the foreign nation owning the companies involved or if there is a threat to the foreign nation interests.

"Somboon Bunyapirom, a lawyer". What kind of lawyer is this who expects that the government of one country would interfere in the legal process of a merger of two companies in another country?

Maybe because Telenor is a majority state owned company. dTac being owned by Telenor.
