Research and Markets: Thailand Telecommunications Report Q4 2011 - Mobile Market is Rather More Robust Than Expected

DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/0798bf/thailand_telecommu) has announced the addition of the "Thailand Telecommunications Report Q4 2011" report to their offering.

Business Monitor International's Thailand Telecommunications Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, telecommunication associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Thailand's telecommunications industry.

This quarter's update to BMI's Thailand Telecommunications Report takes into account the latest (Q211) key performance indicators from two of the largest operators - mobile players AIS and DTAC - and Q111 data from all other operators and the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC). Broadly, the downward trend in the fixed-line segment and expansion in the fixed and mobile broadband markets were in line with expectations and BMI have not needed to adjust our 2011-15 forecasts for these markets.

The mobile market is rather more robust than BMI had expected, judging by H111 results, and BMI have slightly raised our five-year outlook accordingly.

BMI also have a better insight into the make-up of the mobile market following True's acquisition of the CDMA wireless business of Hutchison. True has taken the opportunity to create a new wireless group, which encompasses its TrueMove GSM unit, the Hutch CDMA business and a new entity geared towards developing a national 3G platform. This latter goal is to be achieved either with or without stateowned CAT Telecom - which had partnered with Hutchison - though legal action brought by rival DTAC may prematurely end advanced plans to establish joint HSPA services.

TOT, meanwhile, is said to be working with AIS to develop 900MHz HSPA 3G services, but that project may also come to naught if the new Thai government decides to rethink the way 3G services are offered in Thailand.

Companies Mentioned:

  • TOT
  • True Corporation
  • Advanced Info Service (AIS)
  • DTAC
