The committee drafting Thailand's new constitution has revealed plans to use it to classify orbital slots and spectrum assigned for broadcasting as national assets.
By classing orbital slots and spectrum this way, any companies making use of the assets would need to act in the best interests of the people of Thailand and national security, the Bangkok Post reported.
The move is aimed at prohibiting use of the asset by operators in a way designed to take advantage of the public, such as by charging unreasonably high fees or blocking public access to accurate information.
Companies making use of the slots would need to use it under a concession which would include paying a fee to the government.
