Thailand may go TD-LTE by default

Of course, more spectrum is a good thing and everyone wants faster speeds, but in the mad rush to get the auction done, Thailand risks wasting 5 MHz on 1800 and going into bed with the Chinese for a generation. Not that it is the worst choice in the word given the rise of the China, but it has been made in haste and without proper thought or due process.

Thailand’s 4G auction is developing like a race with changing rules and goals while the racer is undergoing an organ transplant mid-race. But as I said before, chances are it will happen despite all of this. The auction will just be a front for show while the elite make a deal in the backroom and the state telcos continue to enjoy a mandate to squander precious monetary and spectrum resources on nebulous PR projects in the name of helping the poor while in fact all they are doing is helping to enrich the elite brokering these deals even further.
