Commission opts to tighten data centre supervisionThe NBTC is strengthening its regulatory grip on the booming data centre sector. The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) is tightening its regulatory grip on the booming data centre sector through a proposed shift in the licensing regime that will bring operators under closer state scrutiny. As the digital landscape evolves, the number of licensed data centre operators in the country has climbed to more than 20. The proposed changes also include the possibility of zoning for data centre development. Mr Trairat said once the revised regulations are officially announced, current data centre licence holders must consult with the commission to reclassify their licences from Type 1 to Type 3.
