A small price to pay
Database, Published on 20/01/2010
» Your TOT board put huge red Xs across all the recent auctions and three billion baht worth of contracts to build a fibre-optic network for broadband Internet, and vowed to call new contracts; the decision followed remarks by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva over the high prices of some of the bids, and your TOT will be certain to write new terms of reference for new auctions; the rather complicated auction was run in portions, for various parts of the country, but luckily for TOT turned out to total 3.03 billion baht, a full 0.01 billion below the budget; now they will have to do it all again, and despite what Mr Abhisit says, prices do go up, don't they?

Stop 3G trials - or else
Database, Published on 09/06/2010

A danger to free speech
Database, Published on 06/10/2010
» He may not know it, but Sen Patrick Leahy either greatly admires the Ministry of Internet Censorship of Thailand (MICT) and has decided to ape it, lock, stock and barrel, or he has accidentally re-invented the MICT wheel of Internet blockage; he introduced and pushed a bill that would do to almost all the Internet what the MICT only does to Thailand - block all access to numerous websites because they are harmful to national security; Sen Leahy and his many backers and admirers aren't talking about evil Thaksin and making fun of Abhisit, of course, they are talking about the evil digital piracy that makes fun of Hollywood and Microsoft; just like the Thai law, the Leahy bill would force all Internet service providers up and down the food chain to block access for the whole world to any site that facilitates piracy - no trial, no formal charges, and in this bill, no definition so far of "facilitates piracy"; the Electronic Frontier Foundation calls the Leahy bill "a danger to freedom of speech," but everyone knows the wimpy EFF always politely understates the obvious.
