Bid afoot to extend nation's right to use 50.5° East slot

Quick Summary:

The Office of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) is preparing official documents to request the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) grant a one-year extension for Thailand's right to use the 50.5° East orbital slot once it expires on Nov 27, 2024.

The NBTC has amended significant details concerning the awarding conditions, aiming to attract potential bidders.

Thaicom chief executive Patompob Suwansiri said the beauty contest scheme gives 40% weight to the potential success of a project proposal when making an assessment, while only 25% is given to the bidder's experience.
