The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) yesterday began distributing a new lot of 3.98 million digital TV subsidy coupons. The NBTC already distributed 13.6 million coupons in the first phase and 8.78 million coupons have been redeemed. Secretary-general Takorn Tantasith said the second phase of subsidy coupon distribution will help facilitate the country's digital TV transition and help digital TV operators expand their broadcast coverage. Coupon holders can use them to redeem digital TV set-top boxes or get a discount to buy hybrid set-top boxes or TVs that can receive digital TV signals. The coupon redemption can be done at retail shops participating in the NBTC's subsidy coupon distribution scheme, such as Tesco Lotus and 7-Eleven.
