    » Just what is 3.9G? To most of the world, 3.9G means LTE, long term evolution, but for Thai people 3.9G is a vague concept of 42MBPS, but quite what technology it is seems to be beyond most of the people I asked at the 3.9G Thailand Human DNA event.

It would of course remove a source of income from the Electricity Providers...but would help the village communities and Thailand in general tremendously.

The basic technology to manufacture the solar cell is the same as for other semiconductor devices but simpler. IF someone were to start up a fab (semiconductor foundry) then it can be a stepping stone to more complex product(s). As far as I know, there is no semiconductor foundry of any kind in Thailand (someone correct me, please) By any chance you recall the name of this Chinese company in KhonKaen ? Whereas the cost of electricity is a little cheaper in Thailand than in Europe/US, there is a huge amount of government subsidy in PV and non-fossil fuel based energy and hence the popularity there. Where many electricity generating entities in Europe and US are 'for profit' private corporation,in Thiland, EGAT would be very happy to lose a few customers because they are quite overloaded the way it is. My real interest on the topic isn't about electric power generation but rather getting Thailand it's own semiconductor manufacturing capability and PV cell foundry is a good stepping stone. Biomass, that's a different animal. Depending on what it is, one either burn it directly in a high temperature furnace or convert it in to some other fuel (eg. methanol, ethanol, methane, bio-diesel) Except for bio-diesel, the process is a little more complicated/tedious and not that suitable for deployment in small ville. There is no single ideal solution for localized renewable electric generation, every location is unique and the solution must be optimized for each location.

    The importance of preparing for disaster

    Database, James Hein, Published on 02/06/2010

    » After the recent events in Bangkok, I suspect many companies will be considering the issue of a disaster recovery plan. Anyone who has received formal training in project management will be familiar with this term, but it has been my experience that many organisations ignore this aspect of project management and that of risk management in general when building up their businesses.

    • Voice commented : ™t have PAD we won’t have a coup if we didn’t have a coup we won’t UDD. If people think they have good evidence & witnesses against Thaksin then why not present the court or report to DSI or any judge in Thailand I am sure the law will do it work for you & the public. Or unless you’re inclining to distrusts the system that works for you. If you feel like that what make you think that you are alone! I believe very strongly that if anyone person did something against the law they should be punish by law not kangaroo court like we have here in Thailand. Trtrz how can you say to me that PAD didn’t used the weapon like guns, Ping-Pong bombs, try to run over the body of policeman, killed the red-shirts and everything else they could made up with petrol. Where were you when all these has happened trtrz? It doesn’t matter how much or how many it the intention that count. A gun doesn’t kill people is.
