BANGKOK, Nov 9 – The Thai Cabinet agreed Tuesday with the national broadband policy proposed by the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to allow more access by the government, the business sector and the public to high speed internet, ICT Minister Chuti Krairiksh said.
The government has targeted 80 per cent of the Thai population to access high speed internet in the year 2015 and will upgrade Internet connections to 100 Mbps broadband service in 2020, so professional users and the public at large can access information on education, public health, disaster warnings in time through inexpensive network services.
The government initially supported the budget of Bt20 billion ( US$666 million) through the TOT Pcl and CAT Telecom Pcl to develop high speed internet service. (MCOT online news)
