CrazyExpat Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Being a tech freak, I am happy that 3G is going to be in Thailand soon. Thailand seems to have one of the best cellular networks I have seen and this was a natural progression. This story from the Bangkok Post: Third-generation (3G) mobile broadband should be launched in Thailand before the end of this year, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Monday. "The launch of 3G services can no longer be postponed because it would not be worth the investment. ''If it has to be postponed, we may have to scrap it and turn to a newer and more advanced technology," he said after attending a meeting of the National Telecommunication Commission (NTC). The prime minister said he agreed with the NTC that the 3G auction should be held before the year's end. The NTC plans to auction 3G spectrum rights in mid-December and grant four licences this year. "We'll have to determine how the Telephone Organisation of Thailand (TOT) and CAT Telecom state enterprises will survive in the 3G era. They may become a new business entity or improve their old concessions," Mr Abhisit said.
