The telecom regulator says the country's mass adoption of 5G could take place next year, one year ahead of its previous prediction, thanks to the 5G network roll-out and the launch of a series of 5G-enabled handsets, as well as new advanced apps and use cases.
Sutisak Tantayotin, deputy secretary-general of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), said 5G network support is part of the agency's strategic plan for the telecom sector next year.
The agency set out the 2021 strategic plan by taking into account four core pillars: boosting 5G adoption, promoting a telecom infrastructure-sharing system, improving related regulations, as well as supporting data analytics for related research and regulation.
