CAT blocks DTAC launch of 3G service
CAT Telecom has further kept Total Access Communication from launching a commercial third-generation telecommunications service after DTAC has been waiting for such permission for many years.
CAT’s board yesterday rejected DTAC’s request, pending its readiness to accept the condition that it would not seek compensation from CAT for possible losses on its 3G service investment if the Cabinet decides to revoke DTAC’s concession.
One telecom source wondered whether there was any hidden agenda, as it was strange that CAT raised such a condition in exchange for its permission. CAT had never mentioned this condition to DTAC before.
