The satellite business has been disrupted by innovation for decades," Thaicom chief executive Anant Kaewruamvongs told the Bangkok Post. Thaicom 4 is a broadband satellite and Thaicom 6 is broadcasting satellite. Thaicom can continue to operate Thaicom 7 and 8 satellites under a single licence provided by National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC). "Thaicom also plans to enter the smart solution business linked with the space economy," said Mr Anant. Mr Anant retires at the end of this year and his deputy Patompop Suwansiri is expected to succeed him.
