NBTC presents TV Shopping for Digital Economy

BANGKOK, 13 December 2014 (NNT) – The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) is considering to provide TV Shopping service licenses as another way to push the government’s Digital Economy policy and to help extend the television business.

According to Vice Chairman of the NBTC Dr. Natee Sukonrat, the NBTC has learned from the example of the South Korean TV Shopping service that it has achieved great success and proved to be beneficial to the economy.

The NBTC Chairman has said that there are many television service providers in Thailand, of which the television business can be further developed to create even more economic value.

He said that if the NBTC introduced the TV Shopping service license, it would initiate an improvement to the existing television business in Thailand to become a new category of business. This will generate more economic value using technology complying to the government’s digital economy policy.

The NBTC has also been praised from the television business regulating authority of South Korea for the Digital TV tender in Thailand as a fair and appropriate way to allocate the service license.
