Through the military intelligence unit, .......................................

Hopefully when installed it will stop those crazy early morning calls on the village p.a asking for money nearly everyday to build something   else at the local temple.

I very much doubt it

Ours are still shaking the house at 7am [emoji35][emoji35]

It's basically just low quality free internet. Good enough to browse and watch you tube but not for streaming a movie etc.

You buy the router and then get 2 hours internet before your logged off and then u can log on again. Public markets already have the router so u register with your ID card number. It's one access per phone or tablet and it can't be shared.

A lot depends on where you live.

 

I live in rural Khampaeng Phet close to the Mae Wong national park. We have a fibre optic cable from AIS and one from DTAC but they only connect to the cell sites further along.

 

Last November 3BB ran a fibre optic cable out the front of the house but when I checked on Monday it will be at least 6 months and may even be next year before connections are available. TOT haven't even run a fibre cable yet and I use a WiNet connection from them as there is little else available.

Am I the only one missing the line: totally controlled internet services?

Installing it in another 24,700 villages this year is current news, did you think the headline was, Thailand to install the internet in a village for the first time?

Dangerous policy. People with access to the internet can find out the truth about all the lies the Government has told them.

It is the glaring omission in the article. How are they doing this? A Pythonesque body decided to

'expedite' something.... Bizarre but we are used to it.

 

Zero content in that statement.

Actually, they can find out the truth about the lies ANY government has told them. If you think that is dangerous to the junta, consider how it will affect those who relied on an ill-informed and uneducated populace to elect them.

Giving free access to different POV can only increase the quality of Thai democracy.

With the "single internet gateway" in place all the "truth" will be controlled by the junta...not that people like halloween will care, notice or mind.
