NOD TO AUCTION RULES
The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) board yesterday approved the draft rules on the auction of licences for the 900 megahertz and 1800MHz spectra, said Takorn Tantasith, the regulator’s secretary-general.
It will consult the Council of State on whether it can continue with the auction rule development in the case that the process of selecting the new NBTC commissioners take place while the rules are still in the developemnt stage.
The watchdog is expected to finalise the rules next January and call bids in May 2018.
The six-year term of the existing commissioners ended on October 7 this year but the new NBTC law allows them to continue in the same capacity until replaced.
MPC HOLDS POLICY RATE
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting yesterday voted unanimously to maintain the policy rate at 1.50 per cent.
MPC secretary Jaturong Jantarangs said that the committee viewed that the current accommodative monetary policy stance remained conducive to the continuation of economic growth and should foster the return of headline inflation to target although this could take some time.
