The NBTC board has been unable to hold meetings for six straight sessions because some commissioners boycotted over a ruling against chairman Dr Sarana Boonbaichaiyapruck. Of 188 agenda items, 52 are urgent, including the digital TV roadmap, a proposed national streaming platform, and NT's plan on Thaicom 4 satellite capacity. The next scheduled meetings are Sept 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17 and 23. If your business depends on TV broadcasting, streaming, or satellite-linked telecom services, expect these decisions to slip. No action is needed this week beyond keeping an eye on the September meetings.
