Den utländska investeringsviljan i Thailand kan få sig
en långsiktig och allvarlig törn tror allt fler nu när både den juridiska villervallan
och dragkampen mellan myndigheter åter igen är ett faktum i Siam.

FTI: 3G delay hits investor confidence

Thailand could lose the confidence of foreign investors because of the cancellation
of the 3G licence auction, Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) chairman
Payungsak Chartsutipol said on Monday.
The collapse of the 3G auction could send a message to foreign investors that
they would face many legal barriers if they want to invest in the country, Mr Payungsak said.
The auction's cancellation had resulted in loss of opportunities and affected many people,
especially those living in rural areas,
since they could not get access to high-speed internet at a low price.
The decision put Thailand behind other countries, the FTI chief said.
He called on the government to quickly solve the regulatory risks to raise the investors' confidence.

Undrar om det ligger något i ryktet att familjen "Chearavanont"
eller thailands rikaste privatperson "Dhanin Chearavanont" som också är huvudägaren till
"Charoen Pokphand Group (CP Group)" ligger bakom kancelleringen av 3G-auktionen?
Tydligen rycktas det om att " True Corporation Thailand. " som ägs och drivs av familjen "Chearavanont" behöver mer tid och kapital för att förbereda ett eget 3g-nät i Thailand.
Kanske de istället ligger och förbereder ett 4G nät och väntar in att 3G ska bli omodernt?
Vilket familjen via deras talesperson naturligtvis förnekar. . .

Mr Athueck also denied allegations that True was behind a move to derail the 3G auction
because it was less prepared financially and technically than its
two larger rivals, AIS and DTAC.
"This is untrue. True is fully ready to enter the bid and comply
with the auction rules," he said.
In any case, Mr Athueck, said 3G technology was becoming outdated.
Thailand is one of the few countries in Asia without 3G. Vietnam this week began accepting applications for 4G licences.
Dhanin Chearavanont, the chairman of CP Group, the parent of True Corp,
said True still had enough money to repay debts and earn profits because it
had a full range of other services including pay-TV, internet and fixed-line phones.

Som så ofta i Thailand sker en sak där uppe på den offentliga publika scenen,
men helt annan i det dolda bakom kulissen.
Och vad nu det kan vara - ja det lämnas som vanligt för vidare spekulation för den konspiratoriskt lagde . . .
