DES Ministry plans to hold urgent discussions on orbital slot

Quick Summary:

The Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry plans to hold an urgent meeting with the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) and state enterprise National Telecom (NT) to address its concern over the country's rights to use the 50.5° East satellite orbit, which expires in November.

Second, the NBTC is under pressure to put a satellite in the 50.5°E slot by year-end, otherwise this slot will be taken back by the ITU.

DES Minister Prasert Jantararuangthong said there are only four months left before the country's rights to this slot expire, and it is a challenge to settle the issue before this date.
