NTC to announce 3G auction terms by September (Thailand)

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: The National Telecommunications Commission, NTC, is likely to announce the terms for the auction of 3G licences next month. Gen Choochart Promprasit, the NTC chairman, said the auction for 3G licences on the 2.1GHz spectrum should happen this year, allowing the regulator to issue licences in early 2010.
He further said that by September, terms and guidelines for the auction could be announced on the NTC’s website, allowing enough time to the operators to prepare bids.
While the operators, hit by the weak economy have lowered their investment plans until NTC announces details for the 3G auction.
