The Office of the Ombudsman will get another chance to argue against the 3G auction process.

The Supreme Administrative Court yesterday agreed to hear its appeal against a lower court's decision which rejected its challenge to the auction process.

The Administrative Court on Dec 3 knocked back a challenge filed by the ombudsman seeking to suspend the process of awarding 3G licences to the three bid winners.

@Dis 1: I think it's preposterous rather than amazing! Despite showing economic resilience, Thailand has been a perennial laggard among its peers in ICT (Information and Communications Technology)development. Why? For one, there is lack of leadership and vision among stakeholders to move the country forward to the ICT frontier. Then there are the overly patriotic, nationalistic and xenophobic citizens of this country that truly abhor anything or anyone of non-Thai origin. Sprinkle these two elements with corrupt and greedy minds ... enough said. I rest my case.

Is there ever something like a final verdict in Thailand? These interest groups are trying to find every ridiculous technicality to prevent progress for the majority of Thais, and the governement stays mute during all that time.

If that goes on I wouldn't be surprised if in 2 years time they retroactively revoke the 3G licenses again because TOT still doesn't like the deal.

Never mind 3G, I'd just like TOT to provide a stable internet connection I could rely on every day.

Here's Thailand still arguing about who can provide 3G service, while much of the civilized world already provides and is improving 4G with research heading for 5G. Amazing to say the least!
