The NBTC (telecom and broadcast regulator) board has failed to form a quorum 12 times in about a month, leaving 198 agenda items pending. Chairman Dr. Soravich has asked the remaining commissioners to elect a temporary chair for the 1–2 October 2026 meeting, as he is unavailable from 30 September to 4 October. Relevant mainly if your business depends on telecom licences, broadcast or spectrum rulings, or internet service contracts: expect approvals to stay slow until the board is functioning again.
