The court order benefits about 95,000 Dtac subscribers, most of them using the 2G service and others for roaming. Dtac has been locked in a dispute with the telecom regulators over its access to the spectrum when its concession expires. DTAC decided to seek court help, citing the need for subscribers whose devices use the spectrum to be protected from having the signal cut off. The court said in the injunction statement released after the ruling that Dtac had the right to protect the affected customers until Dec 15. This means that Dtac subscribers using the 850MHz bandwidth have three months to switch to other spectrums operated by the company, or move to another provider.
