The Central Administrative Court dismissed the urgent request by NBTC chairman Dr. Soraon to suspend the selection committee's ruling that he is disqualified for paid hourly medical work.

Whether the prime minister can petition the King to remove him now depends on that next court step. For a Thai SME, this is background only: it affects broadcasting and digital TV roadmap timing, not day-to-day operations.
