Popular Post webfact Posted Friday at 11:58 PM Popular Post Share Posted Friday at 11:58 PM In a decisive move, Thai authorities have commenced a major crackdown on the transmission of internet signals from Mae Sot to Myawaddy township in Myanmar. Over a hundred officials, police, and soldiers raided six targeted locations, seizing a large cache of communication devices. Mr. Trairat Viriyasirikul, acting secretary-general of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission of Thailand (NBTC), led the operation, which initially focused on five commercial buildings in downtown Mae Sot. Though outwardly appearing to sell various merchandise, these buildings were identified as hubs for transmitting internet signals across the Moei river to Myawaddy. During the raid, authorities confiscated numerous communication devices and detained the managers of the five buildings for further questioning. However, in a critical strike on the border at Phub Phra district, the suspects received a tip-off about the incoming raid and severed underground internet cables before officials arrived. Shwe Kokko, located directly across the border from the raid site, is infamous for online scamming rackets and casinos operated by Chinese grey capitalists. Despite the setback, police collected substantial evidence to aid further investigations. Earlier enforcement efforts saw police realign seven cell phone towers back towards Thailand and dismantle 366 base stations initially oriented toward Myawaddy. This followed a recent appeal by House Committee on National Security, Border Affairs, National Strategies & Reforms Chair Rangsiman Rome. Rome urged Thai authorities, particularly the Provincial Electricity Authority and the NBTC, to halt the continuous supply of power and internet signals to Shwe Kokko, known for its gambling and criminal activities. The crackdown signifies a robust stance by the Thai authorities to curb illicit activities facilitated by cross-border internet signals and demonstrates a heightened commitment to regional security.

Purdey Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago I can think of some schools that would benefit from a couple of cell towers and base stations. Give generously, Generals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
