TOT moves to protect TT&T customers as services end
Play
TOT will step in to avoid disruption to TT&T’s customers when TT&T discontinues telephone services at the end of this month.
Pravit Leesatapornwongsa, a member of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission, said Wednesday that TOT had informed the regulator about the move.
Last March, the Central Bankruptcy Court took TT&T, a fixed-line telecommunications service provider in the provinces, into absolute receivership after deciding not to extend its rehabilitation plan.
The court had ordered TT&T to come up with a rehab plan in November 2008, and approved the plan in December 2010.
TT&T has a 25-year concession from TOT that expires next year to operate 1.5 million fixed lines. As of September, it had about 400,000 subscribers.
