With the new round of recruitment for the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) board scheduled for this month, players in the telecom, broadcasting and innovation industries are monitoring the process as another derailment three times in three years could jeopardise previous plans put forward by the regulator.
The first delay took place in 2018 when senators voted against the proposed candidates, recruited in line with the 2017 NBTC law.

Thailand climbed two places to the top spot out of 176 countries in fixed broadband internet speed testing based on the Speedtest Global Index in December last year, driven by fierce local competition.
The Speedtest Global Index compares internet speed data from around the world on a monthly basis.
Data for the index comes from hundreds of millions of tests taken by real people using Speedtest tools every month.
Speedtest was developed by Ookla, a Seattle-headquartered pioneer in fixed broadband and mobile network testing applications, data and analysis.
Internet speed testing by Speedtest can be done through its website or application.
