Thailand’s TOT will soon scrap an IP-enabled service and marketing contract between its Thai Mobile cellular venture and Milcom Systems after detecting irregularities and revenue leakage of more than 100 million baht ($3.03 million) per month.

A TOT board committee that has been investigating past deals made by the state telecom enterprise said the Milcom deal was among the factors that resulted in Thai Mobile president Vasukree Klapairee being removed and TOT president Somkhuan Bhruminhent being transferred to an inactive” position.

Djit Laowattana, a TOT director and member of the committee, said it had obtained documents on the deal and would recommend that the TOT board scrap the contract next week.

The committee would also press charges against any TOT executives found to have knowledge of the alleged fraud, he said, adding that a final investigation would take one more month. Milcom Systems obtained the two-year contract from Thai Mobile in March last year.

Its IP-enabled services includes voice calls using broadband Internet connections from PC to phone, phone-to-phone, VoIP, teleconferencing, Wi-Fi mobile hand phone, international and domestic VoIP calling service.
