Popular Post webfact Posted December 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2022 After months of prevarication, Thailand’s telecom regulator gave the green light in October for the merger of two major operators — True Corporation (True) and Total Access Communication (Dtac). The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) voted 3:2 to allow the merger of the country’s second- and third-largest mobile operators, citing its lack of authority to approve or reject the proposed merger plan. The closely-scrutinized decision has only fuelled a hot debate on whether the majority of commissioners had failed to do their duty properly. NBTC’s dissidents The two NBTC commissioners who voted against the deal have raised several reasons to oppose the merger.

If the Constitution Court can say that PM Prayut wasn't PM for 4 years (2014-2018), then the NBTC majority decision shouldn't be surprising. Radical nationalism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Did the NBTC even have a reputation for anything other than rubber stamping huge corporate projects, compromises, and never, ever taking the welfare of the general public into consideration? Monopolies are never a good thing. Ever. This was a travesty for the public. Woe is Thailand with this kind of leadership. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
