The NBTC (กสทช.) has been split for over two months, with rival board meetings and a disputed chairman. Contract signing for the 5.4bn baht USO Net phase 3 is in question, since contracts above 200m baht need the chairman's approval. True Corp says it is not directly affected yet. For a Thai SME, the practical effect is slower regulator decisions on telecom and broadband matters, so avoid planning around new telecom approvals or licences until the dispute clears.
