Thaicom eyes spin-off for satellite bidSatellite dishes at Thaicom headquarters in Nonthaburi. AM Thanapant said he is aware Thaicom is preparing to set up a subsidiary to join the bid. Thaicom still has time to buy a bid envelope, with the board making the final decision, said Mr Anant. Thaicom now operates Thaicom 4, a broadband satellite, and Thaicom 6, a broadcasting satellite, through concessions. The bid winner for the 119.5°E slot can make use of it only after Thaicom 4's engineering lifespan ends in 2023, said AM Thanapant.
