They are Advanced Wireless Network of Advanced Info Service, DTAC TriNet of Total Access Communication, TUC RMV for the 2300 Megahertz Consortium of True Corp, Tantawan Telecom, Hi Media Technology, and Mobile LTE.
TOT holds 60MHz of the 2.3GHz spectrum for a term that is due to expire in eight years. The state agency is expected to sign the partnership deal with the bid winner in the third quarter and launch the service in the fourth quarter.
TOT will select the partner using the “beauty contest” process, which is based on the company proposing the best business model.
