NBTC moves to regulate over-the-top operators for fairness’ sake
The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission broadcasting committee has studied ways to draw up rules to regulate the fast-rising over-the-top segment to expose all content broadcasters to the same equal treatment and regulations. OTT is the delivery of media content such as films or TV programmes via the Internet to viewers, either free or for a charge. “The main reason to regulate OTT is that we have to regulate all broadcasters on an equal basis. We’re studying more details of the OTT but our regulations will not affect consumers. We’ll focus on regulating content, especially the violent content,” said broadcasting committee chairman Natee Sukonrat.
