According to the Telco’s Chairman Teerawut Boonyasopon, TOT’s plan to relaunch failed GSM mobile operator Thai Mobile as a nationwide UMTS 3G wholesale service provider is likely to suffer delays due to political red tape. Recently, TOT has decided to buy all the shares not owned in Thai from sister telco CAT. They have proclaim the plan to invest a total of $870 million to roll out a network of 5,200 W-CDMA base stations by 2012 and rent capacity to private mobile operators. After the approval from the Finance Ministry, the National Economic and Social Development Board, the Office of the Public Debt Management and the cabinet, TOT will begin to draft the TOR (Terms of References). Also call for the auction of the electronic equipment.
