DTAC and TOT to join hands for 4G services
Telecom firm DTAC has been selected as the business counterpart for 4G services on TOT’s 2300MHz spectrum. As part of the proposal, DTAC TriNet has offered TOT an annual fixed payment of Bt4.51 billion with certain conditions.
“We are pleased that DTAC has received a letter from TOT informing that TOT’s board has approved TOT to enter into a contracting process for the provision of wireless service on 2300MHz with the company,” said Lars Norling, chief executive officer of DTAC. “We will thus enter into contract negotiations with TOT. With the high and growing demand for mobile data services, Thai consumers will get greater benefits from this business collaboration in providing wireless broadband connectivity with quality services. This will also contribute to the Nationwide Efficient Digital Infrastructure Development Strategy of Thailand 4.0 policy,” he added.
For Thailand to reach its digital aspirations and for Thai citizens to compete, the country requires adequate infrastructure: specifically robust spectrum inventory and planning, Norling said.
