Telecom experts keeping an eye on CAT's alliance movesThe sign in front of CAT Tower, CAT Telecom's headquarters. The source said Edotco is a leading telecom infrastructure service provider in the region, while ALT is a top telecom equipment installation provider. He said an alliance between CAT, Edotco and ALT implies that CAT may want to become a 5G infrastructure provider, rather than a service provider. If CAT participates in the 2600MHz range auction, the final bid price for all 19 licences on the 2600MHz range could reach 58 billion baht, he said. Mr Pisut said AIS, which holds a slot of 700MHz range, could be willing to contest for licences on the 700MHz range in the auction because its existing slot is adjacent to those available for bid.
