National Telecom board rejects most Universal Service Obligation projectsListen to this articleAn internet service centre under the NBTC's USO project. The board of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) recently approved only three out of 15 Universal Service Obligation (USO) projects submitted by its office. The 15 projects required a budget of more than 18 billion baht. Other projects requiring revision include the provision of high-speed internet services in underserved areas, budgeted for 1.88 billion baht for five years. This project also suffered from a lack of clarity in targeted areas for internet service provision and may overlap with areas already served, added the source.
