Magic numbers
Database, Published on 11/08/2010
» A little over a month before companies are expected to fork over containers of cash at an auction, the actual rules for the sale of 3G licences are still unclear; the Magnificent Seven have insisted they will take up the gavel in the last week of September (Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said it would be on Sept 24) to auction three licences, supposedly worth 12 billion baht or some other invented number; but the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) apparently isn't actually selling use of the bandwidth to the winning mobile phone companies, but just narrow permission to use it for 3G, meaning that 4G and so on are unknowns; in addition; the NTC's vague threats to keep out foreign companies has sent the bidders into a tizzy; the main question is whether the threat applies to current firms such as AIS of Shingapore and Dtac of Norway - or just Singapore Telecom, or what?
