12 in the fray for NBTC post
Twelve people are in contention for the post of secretary-general of the National Broadcasting and Tele-com-mu-nications Commission.
Many of them are former candidates for 11 seats of the NBTC.
The watchdog accepted applications for the secretary-general’s post from November 18 until yesterday. Among the 12 applicants are NBTC acting secretary-general Takorn Tantasit, NBTC acting deputy secretary-general Prasert Apipunya, and former director of the now defunct Telecommunications Research and Industrial Development Institute, Supot Tiarawut.
Also in the running are Ratchasap Nichida, Associate Professor Athikom Roeksabutr from Mahanakorn Uni-versity of Technology, and Wasant Paileekli, former MCOT president. All the above-mentioned six applicants are former candidates for NBTC commissioner.
Associate Professor Kulit-sara Kritworakarn, the former dean of the mass communications faculty at Chiang Mai University, is also in the fray.
The NBTC is required by the Frequency Allocation Law to name a secretary-general within 90 days of starting work. The watchdog got off the ground in October. The secretary-general will stay in the post for five years.
