The Consumer Council is pushing the NBTC and operators such as AIS and True to set up a transition working group for the C-Band satellite TV shutdown under the 2026–2030 TV roadmap. The band (3700–4200 MHz) is being reassigned to 5G/6G. Over 8 million households could be affected, and the council warns that rural, elderly and vulnerable viewers may have to pay for new equipment alone. The proposal is still at discussion stage; no compensation scheme or timetable has been set. For a small business, the practical impact is limited: if you run a shop or venue that relies on satellite TV, watch for a switch to Ku-band or IPTV dishes and budget for replacement equipment once rules are announced.
