Thailand mobile market
License Price: US$ 2,240.00
Thailand’s mobile market is in a deadlock. The country’s 3G auctions, which were originally scheduled for September 2010, have been delayed indefinitely by legal action. This has derailed Thailand’s 3G growth strategy, putting private operators under growing capacity pressure.
