All three providers attended a seminar on the future of Thai 3G service, and agreed that whoever gets to provide the service should not charge too much for it, as it will become “a burden to consumers in the future”.

The introduction of a 3G service has been mired in complex political and commercial litigation, with associated police investigations, for the past two years.

The 3G services currently being provided by all the major players are officially “beta” services. Technically, only TOT and CAT may provide 3G services.
