DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nbkx9z/thailand_major_t) has announced the addition of the "Thailand - Major Telecom Operators" report to their offering.
This report looks at the major operators in the Thai telecom market. In what is a complex commercial environment we find a mix of state-owned companies and private operators functioning under a wide variety of corporate and regulatory structures and interfaces.
There are three major fixed-line operators - one government-owned and two private. Despite the effort put into this segment of the market, fixed-line services are outnumbered by mobile phone services by a ratio of more than ten to one. Nonetheless, with a teledensity of a little more than 10% in 2011, fixed-line services remain an integral part of the telecommunications environment in the country. A major effort by the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology (MICT) to promote DSL broadband services saw the start of a potentially enhanced role for the copper network. While reasonably good infrastructure has been put in place to support data services, this segment of the market has only recently been experiencing significant growth. Coming into 2012 fixed broadband internet penetration was around 6%.
Key Developments:
- The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) set out guidelines for the 2100MHz 3G auction it planned would happen towards the end of 2012
- The commission had earlier approved a frequency allocation master plan that allowed it to legally hold the proposed 3G auction
-
The NBTC authorised AIS and then both DTAC and True to carry out 4G
LTE mobile trials using already allotted frequencies.
- The regulator was conducting a review of foreign ownership rules for telecom operators, with important consequences for the mobile segment.
