Office of the Broadcasting Commission television business and the National Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) held the 1st Focus Group public hearing on the case of business merger between True Corporation Plc. (TRUE) and Plc. Total Access Communication (DTAC) invited sectors affected by business integration at the upstream, midstream and downstream levels to express their views.
Mr. Suphat Suchalasai, NBTC Commissioner for Economics As chairman of the meeting said that the hearing was divided into three parts: opinions from the relevant industry; economic impact General consumer reviews
Most of the comments were concerned the merger would leave fewer carriers. may result in a monopoly in the mobile phone service business The merger will have a huge impact on the telecom industry. After the collection is likely to have consequences, the NBTC should consider it thoroughly. especially the impact that will occur on the telecommunication industry
The NBTC should play a role in business mergers rather than just being a certifying consideration for business mergers. NBTC should consider legal issues technology Service fees and service quality It is also worth considering whether the existing operators in the market will continue to exist or not.
This is because there used to be examples of telecommunication business mergers in foreign countries, resulting in the same operators having to leave the market. The NBTC should have regulatory measures for business mergers. Because if an impact occurs, the NBTC is responsible for it.
