NT to skip mobile spectrum auction amid cost concerns

Quick Summary:

State enterprise National Telecom (NT) will not participate in the planned auction of the 850-megahertz, 2100MHz and 2300MHz mobile spectrum licences because it expects fierce bid competition, potentially resulting in hefty payments for the licence winners.

However, NT's 700MHz service has not generated a large revenue stream, even though it already paid three billing cycles to the regulator for the licence fee.

The company is focused on existing 4G service rather than 5G because NT does not want to pay excessive network roaming fees to 5G operators, said Col Sanphachai.
