snoop1130 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 BANGKOK, Oct 19 (TNA) – The National Human Rights Commission said in its statement that the merger of True and DTAC could result in monopoly and consumers would lack choices. The NHRC said that reports on the planned merger of True Corporation and Total Access Communication (DTAC) drew opposition from academics and consumers’ organizations including the Thailand Consumers Council, which were concerned about impacts on competition and possible monopoly in the telecom sector. The merger might affect consumers’ choices and lead to the digital divide and unfair charges.

The problem is that even if this goes through there is not a monopoly. Everyone seems to have forgotten AIS. Also as far as price gouging Thai government has the ability to manage and limit price increases much as they have done with food and petroleum prices. The people that will be hurt are the workers found to be redundant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
