- The auction of telecom spectrum licenses in Thailand for the 1500MHz, 2100MHz, and 2300MHz bands, won by True Corporation and AIS, reflects a surprising lack of competition, with only two bidders despite earlier concerns from the Thailand Consumer Council about potential market monopolies, as reported by Developing Telecoms on May 30, 2025.
- This development aligns with Thailand’s fixed broadband market growth, projected to reach USD 2.5 billion by 2029 (Telecom Review Asia, June 25, 2025), suggesting that the spectrum allocation could enhance high-speed internet access, though a 2014 study from the Journal of Telecommunications Policy warns that concentrated market power may lead to higher consumer prices if not regulated.
- The timing of the auction coincides with political unrest, including anti-government protests at Victory Monument, indicating that telecom expansions might face public scrutiny or logistical challenges amid calls for Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s resignation, as noted in Thai PBS World posts from June 28-29, 2025.
