Held by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) on Sunday, the licence auction ensures DTAC will be able to continuously serve customers across the country without any disruption. The low-band spectrum completes the mobile operator’s high-band holdings, which are the largest in Thailand, ensuring DTAC is now well-positioned to offer both far-reaching coverage and wide capacity for Thai users’ rapidly increasing data usage, chief executive officer Alexandra Reich said on Monday,The company will upgrade its 850MHz sites to 900-MHz at a very rapid pace, and well beyond the requirements set by NBTC, she said. In parallel, it has been expanding service on dtac Turbo faster than ever by adding hundreds of new sites every week, while the company’s 3G on 2100MHz is already reaching 90 per cent of the population, she added. “We can assure our customers can use mobile Internet on 4G and 3G continually and without any service disruptions from the end of our concession period,” the CEO said.
