Acting NBTC head is ready for the tasks at handTrairat Viriyasirikul, acting secretary-general of the NBTC. The newly appointed acting secretary-general of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) says crafting a method to grant satellite orbital slots for interested bidders and approaches for the 3400-3700 megahertz spectrum auction are among his priorities. These three issues are among nine core policies and directives the NBTC office announced early this year, said Mr Trairat, who serves as acting secretary-general until the NBTC board members are appointed. Thaicom operates two satellites under a revenue-sharing based concession regime: Thaicom 4 or iPSTAR, a broadband satellite; Thaicom 6 is a broadcasting satellite. The NBTC office recently appointed four assistants to the secretary-general in line with the 2017 NBTC Act.
