The Central Administrative Court rejected NBTC chairman Sarana Boonbaichaiyapruck's petition to overturn a Senate selection committee ruling that found him in breach of the Frequency Allocation Act, which bars NBTC commissioners from working for state agencies. He had kept working as a physician at Ramathibodi Hospital. The court said removal still needs royal consideration before it takes formal effect, and the replacement process can now proceed. Three of seven board members have boycotted the last two meetings, so pending telecom and broadcast rulings are delayed. For a typical SME this is background only, unless your business depends on NBTC licensing or frequency decisions.
