The NBTC board has aborted two meetings (July 27 and Aug 5) because four commissioners boycotted over the chairman's disqualification, so it lacks the quorum of four of seven. Pending items include the Thaicom 4 satellite extension (NT's permission runs to end-September and needs NBTC acknowledgement), digital TV transition measures, project funding, and four-digit shortcode allocation for private firms. For a Thai SME, the direct impact is limited: if you rely on satellite-based services, shortcode numbers, or are waiting on a telecom licence or approval, expect delays. Watch the Aug 6, 11, 13 and 19 meetings.
