Academics from Chulalongkorn's communication arts faculty and allied groups issued a statement (18 Sep event, 108 signatories) urging an end to the stalled operations of the NBTC board. They say a backlog has built up on the TV digital roadmap (2026–2030), OTT and Connected TV rules, 5G/6G spectrum auction planning, foreign satellite landing rights, and consumer complaints about scam ads and SIM fraud. For a small business, expect slower decisions on telecom and broadcast matters, including emergency alert systems. Nothing in the statement changes your obligations today; treat it as background on regulatory delay.
