Thailand’s National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has approved a draft announcement to cancel the “must have, must carry” rule, which has applied since 2012, and to conduct public hearings to get feedback from all stakeholders.

 

The “must have” rule requires companies holding broadcast rights for seven sporting events to allow broadcasting on free TV, while the “must carry” rule requires programs aired on free TV to be available on any platform without conditions, IPTV.

 

The seven sporting events, which fall under this rule, are World Cup, Asian Games, ASEAN Para Games, SEA Games, Asian Para Games, Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.
