The three contracts are among eight awarded by the NBTC to five winners in a 2017 e-auction to provide low-fee fixed broadband internet service, as well as cellular service, to 3,920 villages. The source at the NBTC said the committee would propose a resolution to terminate TOT's three contracts and propose another e-auction for the tasks TOT failed to deliver on. "If the three contracts are terminated, TOT may be at risk of being blacklisted from bidding on other state projects in the future," the source said. Under the project, four contracts involve broadband internet service and four concern mobile phone service. TOT won a 2.1-billion-baht contract to install internet broadband service in the North's Zone 2 and a 2.4-billion-baht contract for the same service in northeastern provinces.
