casualbiker Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I thought Cat were doing a deal with DTAC for the remaing1800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I thought Cat were doing a deal with DTAC for the remaing1800 You're right. Yea, I misread an article written about TrueMove that sloppily mentioned CAT's development of the unused DTAC spectrum concession. Thought it was strange, but then... so, Thanks. I've now corrected, updated and rechecked against recent published articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
