    Thailand advances Asean energy partnership

    News, Published on 22/02/2019

    » As Asean chair for 2019, Thailand is expected to excel in leading the grouping to collectively address regional issues. Announced by Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha last year, the current chairmanship theme of "Advancing Partnership for Sustainability" carries a significant message for the regional cooperation. The word "advancing" is selected to encourage Asean to continuously keep up with and adopt the disruptive technological development of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). With the word "partnership", Thailand wishes all Asean member states (AMS) to strengthen economic cooperation so Asean can play a bigger role in solving global challenges. "Sustainability", on the other hand, reflects how all efforts at national and regional levels should be done in a sustainable manner for all economic sectors. But what does "advancing partnership for sustainability" mean for Asean energy cooperation?

    Australia still trailing Thailand in broadband coverage

    Life, James Hein, Published on 12/09/2018

    » Wither now comms in Australia? With the National Broadband Network or NBN a certified failure, Australia seems to be working hard to ensure that to make the NBN look reasonable, any emerging 5G network must be made to hobble by banning technology companies like Huawei from providing the same kind of support it has been giving over the past 15 years to the local telcos. The given reason is a lack of trust in any Chinese company, keeping the spying eyes of China out of the country. To be fair, there is some justification for this, as China has not been the poster child of espionage abstinence across the globe. What earth-shattering useful secret info they might get from the Australians is debatable, but it looks like the Land Down Under will not be improving their communications any time soon. Thailand is still well ahead on that front.

    Thai healthcare in the digital age

    News, Sutapa Amornvivat, Published on 15/08/2018

    » A few weeks ago, I participated in a workshop to rethink the master plan for the Thailand Centre of Excellence in Life Sciences (TCELS), the committee of which I serve as a director. This reaffirmed my belief in Thailand's potential within the medical sciences and healthcare industry. As a country, we are already renowned as a medical service hub of Asia. With recent advancements in technology, we can further build on the strong foundations especially in the area of research and development (R&D).

    China could yet win trade war with Trump's America

    News, Published on 08/08/2018

    » If you want to know why Donald Trump shouldn't expect to win a trade war against China, look no further than Alibaba, the country's giant e-commerce version of Amazon. Last month, I had two in-depth conversations with Ming Zeng, the e-commerce giant's head of strategic planning and among the smartest minds in business and finance in China. Mr Ming made it clear that China has little real need for America any more -- not US products, but especially not US ideas. When thwarted, China has shown it can think up its own.

    A down vote for MS Skype

    Life, James Hein, Published on 20/06/2018

    » It has been a while since I've used Skype, and I had no idea just how much Microsoft has stuffed it up. Skype for the multi-device user is all but useless. I tried to find a way to allow someone to call into my PC's Skype but to no avail. I shut down Skype on my phone and was able to call out but not receive anything. This removed the possibility of using a good sound card and microphone for the mix, and all I could use in the end was my phone. BM -- or Before Microsoft -- Skype was usable and useful. PM -- Post-Microsoft -- you should look for any other alternative. Line seems to be most popular with those I know. This is not the first time Microsoft has taken over a product, and its usage has dropped dramatically. Of course that could have been the plan all along.
