Digital hub in private sector call
The Digital Economy and Society minister has called on the private sector to work more closely with the ministry to help Thailand become a digital infrastructure gateway in ASEAN by 2020. The evolution of the country’s digital ecosystem, especially in many crucial development areas, needs strong support from the private sector and other key telecom associations, said DE Minister Pichet Durongkaveroj. The development of hard and soft digital infrastructure includes digital skills, satellites and spectrum frequency management, construction of international internet gateways and submarine cables, effective data security protection and security measures. The DE Minister made the call on January 5 after meeting Suphachai Chearavanont, chief executive of True Corporation and president of the Telecommunications Association of Thailand.
