Thai state-run operator TOT has selected Telenor's local subsidiary dtac as its preferred partner for 4G services on TOT's 2,300 MHz spectrum. TOT holds 60 MHz of spectrum in the 2,300 MHz frequency band until 2025. Under the terms of the partnership proposal, dtac will build a network based on this spectrum and have the right to use up to 60 percent of the capacity in this network, for a fixed annual fee of THB 4.5 billion (approximately NOK 1.1 billion).
TOT and dtac plan to sign a final agreement in the fourth quarter. The parties will first conclude negotiations of term and conditions, and secure approvals with necessary governmental agencies.
