After months of negotiations, BTS Group Holdings struck a deal with TOT to build WiFi networks along the BTS routes, said Djitt Laowattana, chairman of the strategic committee of the TOT board. (Photo by Thanarak Khunton)TOT Plc will conduct a public WiFi trial along BTS skytrain routes by September in a bid to create a new, sustainable revenue source. However, Mr Djitt said TOT can also provide WiFi service on the network to condominiums and residential towers along skytrain routes which lie within a 20-km radius. BTS will pay TOT a network rental fee for WiFi access on a monthly or an annual basis. "We plan to charge a monthly fee of only 20 baht for our existing 3G customers who use its WiFi service," he said.
