Final Hurdle to Thailand's 3G License Auction Overcome
Published on:
Thailand's Supreme Court has dropped a lawsuit against the former telecoms regulatory body, in a move which clears its replacement to push ahead with the long-delayed 3G license auction.
The new regulator, the NBTC asked the Court to withdraw the lawsuit against the former National Telecommunications Commission for failing to hold a 3G license last year.
That lawsuit had been filed by the two state-owned networks, TOT and CAT who had claimed that the NTC lacked the necessary authority to carry out the 3G license auction.
The replacement regulator has the necessary authority, and the auction is now due to take place on the 16th October.
In related news, the regulator has asked the police to provide at least 30 officers to protect their headquarters during the auction process in expectation of protests against the auction.
