Business Urged to Leverage 5G at Thailand 5G Summit 2022
Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn said driving digital technology and innovations is crucial for promoting the utilization of 5G, while also expanding opportunities for the business and civic sectors.
Hong Kong, Seoul, Sydney, Taipei, Manila, Tokyo and Shenzhen have already introduced 5G networks. In May, Bangkok became the first city in Southeast Asia to roll out a 5G network, while Singapore in August started a six-month trial.
How the spectrum price affects 5G development in Thailand?
A reasonable spectrum price is, therefore, a key concern for NBTC as it needs to balance between government benefits from the spectrum license fee and affordable price for mobile operators.
Thailand is leading the ASEAN community in 5G technology beginning with Chulalongkorn University and the Eastern Economic Corridor project from next year.
