Thailand’s Administrative Court has rejected a lawsuit filed by an employee of state-run telco TOT – the country’s sole 2100MHz UMTS licence holder – which challenged the authority of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to issue 3G licences to privately-owned operators in a planned auction scheduled to start in late September, the Bangkok Post writes. The suit, filed by Pornchai Meemark, formerly a union leader for TOT, argued that under previously issued laws and regulations, the award of new 3G licences is not allowed until a long-delayed plan to form a combined communications/media regulator – the National Broadcasting & Telecommunications Commission – is implemented.
