Thailand’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES), and related units, are planning to establish two companies to boost the provision of broadband services to the public and governmental units, in accordance with the Cabinet’s resolution on 13 June.
According to the National News Bureau of Thailand, the new state enterprises will be named the National Broadband Network Company (NBN) and the Neutral Gateway and Data Center Company (NGDC). Both companies will provide and manage internet access and related equipment to satisfy the nation’s growing demand. The companies will be registered later this month, and are expected to be operational by November.
