Advanced Wireless Network, a business unit of Advanced Info Service, won the second 900MHz 4G licence at the re-auction today.
It won the licence by confirming the starting price of Bt75.6 billion in the no-contest bidding.
AWN was the only bidder for the licence which was forfeited from Jas Mobile Broadband which could not pay for the licence fee.
In the original bidding in December, Jas's final bid for the licence was Bt75.6 billion. The other licence was awarded to True Corp.
“We believe the 900MHz frequency will yield benefits to users as well as contribute to the long-term growth of Thailand’s digital infrastructure. This is because wireless internet technology is part of the future that both the company and the country are striving toward. Our newly acquired 900 MHz frequency is, therefore, an expansion that reinforces the AIS wireless network, specifically in terms of its quality for our customers’ use." said Somchai Lertsutiwong, chief executive officer of Advanced Info Service.
