Mobility data from mobile devices can be used alongside other analysis techniques to map the risk of dengue fever in Thailand, according to a study by Telenor Group in partnership with Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Mahidol-Oxford Research Unit (MORU) and Total Access Communication (DTAC), the operating unit of Telenor in Thailand.
The project is an extension of a study by Telenor to determine Covid-19 infection areas in Norway using similar techniques, as the company seeks to publicise the use cases and potential of its mobile tracking technologies.
Satellite dishes at Thaicom headquarters in Nonthaburi. TAWATCHAI KEMGUMNERD
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.
