Taxing woes
Database, Published on 20/10/2010
» Cabinet approved a draft law for a "green tax" on all industries, to kick in by 2012; there is still some work to do but proposed rates are in the neighbourhood of 10,000 baht per tonne of waste water, 2,500 baht per tonne of emissions and 15 percent of 1,000 baht per tourist; Big Business enthusiastically welcomed the environmental tax proposal, but had a couple of teensy weensy little worries, hardly worth mentioning but still... such as about consumer resistance when they push the new taxes onto the public because no way will business absorb the costs; and also there's unfairness of, say, shops along the Chao Phraya dumping pollution and not having to pay any tax; also, there is concern over calling tourists "pollution"; but really, all in all, an excellent idea.

A bite of the Apple
Database, Published on 20/01/2010
» Google released the Nexus One smart phone, an impressive gadget that will push more improvements in the iPhone, but will not immediately take much more than a nibble out of the Apple; the new phone runs on the Google operating system, and starts life with more than 18,000 apps - about 15 percent of the Apple selection but, on the other hand, able to multi-task, something the iPhone apps won't do; the big deal about Nexus One, however, is only about US and Canada, where Google aims to be, very roughly, what Number 2 yuppiephone firm DTAC was when the Norwegians took it over and it unlocked its phones; that is what Google is doing with Nexus, which is made by HTC of Taiwan and costs $529 or 17,500 baht in real money - but which is unlocked and will work with any carrier; this is a revolution in the US wireless industry, where phones are totally locked into carriers, and if you want an iPhone, you sign a two-year, near-usurious contract with AT&T; phone companies will feature the Nexus One - T-Mobile subsidises it for $179 for Americans who agree in writing to pay $79.99 a month for the next two years, or 6,000 plus 2,700 baht in real money; but Google will sell you the phone for use with any carrier from its website (google.com/phone) and this is the first crack in the phone-company control of the business.
