Lengthy delays for the launch of 4G in Thailand


4g-702x328.jpg


If you were looking forward to soon being able to use faster, more reliable 4G mobile internet in Thailand then it looks like most of us could be using 3G for the foreseeable future.


Despite it being announced that 4G in Thailand would be ready this year, it is being reported that the whole project could be delayed.


According to the Bangkok Post, the proposed auctions for 4G licenses, which were due to take place in April, may now be put on hold due to new laws relating to Thailand’s proposed ‘digital economy’ not yet being formulated.


Whilst a delay in the launch of 4G in Thailand is perhaps not all that surprising, what is a concern is that if the new digital economy laws are not enacted by April, 4G might actually not be available in Thailand for sometime to come.
