Report NBTC Slashes Mobile Tariffs: Cheaper Packages Under 240 Baht
Picture courtesy of Khaosod Regulators urge affordable plans as industry feels pressure to lower costs BANGKOK - The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) is set to revise mobile phone tariffs, aiming to introduce more affordable Blue Flag Packages, reducing the cap from 240 baht (£5.29) per month. Acting Secretary-General Trairat Viriyasirikul revealed that the NBTC discussed 86 agenda items in their recent meeting, including updates on business permits, license supervision, and legal proceedings. One significant topic was agenda 4.44, focusing on regulating domestic mobile phone service rates, especially charges beyond promotional package entitlements. The NBTC intends to update guidelines to align service charges with market dynamics, enhancing consumer options. Trairat explained the importance of revising the 2020 regulations to ensure they reflect the current telecommunications landscape. The proposed changes suggest reducing starting prices for key promotional packages, targeting essential services such as calls and high-speed mobile internet, while excluding outdated SMS and MMS services. This revision considers the average revenue per user from both postpaid and prepaid services, aiming to offer lower costs for critical services over traditional messaging options. Moreover, the NBTC recommends operators provide at least two starter packages: Pay Per Use and Flat Rate. This initiative is expected to drive fair competition, maintain service efficiency, and ultimately benefit the consumers. Trairat emphasised that reviewing mobile rates would ensure transparency and adapt to technological market shifts. Operators who hold frequency bands will need to offer budget-friendly packages similar to Blue Flag products, which provide cost-effective choices. The NBTC plans to expedite drafting guidelines once approved to proceed with these changes. Meanwhile, agenda 5.19 reviewed FM frequency licensing for local broadcasting, with 2,286 applicants, of which 2,237 qualified for auction participation. The NBTC will release a participant list shortly. Forty-four entities were disqualified, and five withdrew their applications. The NBTC announced the termination of interim FM broadcasting on December 31, with new licences commencing January 1 next year. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-18 -

Epstein Coverup Continues
That might be wishful thinking, but hundreds of millions would welcome it. I forgot to mention that Margery Taylor Greene is also outraged and being outspoken about it too. All the biggest Trump apologists and MAGA anchors, the ones onboard since day one, are all not happy. And it's only going to get worse if he puts out some bogus files. -

Trump Fires Maurene Comey, Epstein's Prosecutor
I don't think Maurene herself should be considered an anonymous source. https://apnews.com/article/trump-comey-epstein-justice-department-sean-combs-6a75266874bb7723ac83a9b548b7d257 WASHINGTON (AP) — Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey who as a federal prosecutor in Manhattan worked on cases against Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jeffrey Epstein, said in a note to colleagues that “fear is the tool of a tyrant” and that her firing without reason should fuel “a fire of righteous indignation at abuses of power.” “If a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain,” Comey said in the note, which was obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday. “Do not let that happen. Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought.” “Instead of fear,” she added, “let this moment fuel the fire that already burns at the heart of this place. A fire of righteous indignation at abuses of power. Of commitment to seek justice for victims. Of dedication to truth above all else.” And neither is Leavitt. Back to the Kremlin you Russian stooge. Asked about the firing Thursday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “This was a decision made by the Department of Justice.”
