In this regard, digital TV operators Led by Mr. Suphap Klikhachai, President of the Digital Television Association (Thailand), along with executives from Thairath TV, Amarin TV, GMM, One31 and GMM25, they requested to discuss with the NBTC and NBTC presidents. Concerns that the allocation of 3500 MHz of spectrum for telecommunications will result in digital TV being unable to continue its business. This is because at present digital TV still relies on C-band satellites which rely on this frequency band for broadcasting. C-band satellites are considered the main channel that digital TV uses for broadcasting. while other channels for broadcasting digital TV Viewers are continuously decreasing due to changes in consumer behavior from the expansion of content viewing via OTT channels and other factors. Maintaining the 3500 MHz frequency band for use with C-band satellites is therefore the way to go. survival of digital TV business operators who must continue to do business Until the license expires in the next 5 years. 'The 3500 MHz wave is like the oxygen pipe that allows digital TV to survive. If there is no wave in this area for C-band, it is like the NBTC unplugging the ventilator for digital TV,' Mr. Suphap said. Busine ss operators are well aware of the need for legal matters. and the importance of the 3500 MHz frequency band that has been accepted as a spectrum for IMT, we would like to at least delay the return of the frequency band to use for telecommunications. By requesting that at least the digital TV business license expire in the year 2029 first. Source: Thai News Agency
