SET-listed satellite service provider Thaicom is setting up a subsidiary to participate in the bidding for satellite orbital slot packages slated for July 24, with the offshoot seen as a way to ward off legal complications that may arise.
Thaicom also wrote a letter to the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), asking it to postpone the auction date because of the pandemic. The NBTC responded that a delay is unlikely.
The NBTC allows interested parties to buy a bid envelope from May 21 to June 20.
Air Marshal Thanapant Raicharoen, deputy secretary-general of the NBTC, said the Thaicom letter requested the auction scheduled for July 24 be pushed back. He said the pandemic alone is not a strong enough reason for a delay.

In last year s 5G spectrum auction, CAT Telecom surprised the telecom industry as it won two slots on the 700MHz range at a total cost of 34.3 billion baht, while Advanced Wireless Network (AWN), a subsidiary of Advanced Info Service (AIS), secured another slot on the frequency for 17.1 billion baht.
