Thailand’s state-owned CAT Telecom has announced that there might be a delay in its planned 3G mobile service plan with True. The True Group, which owns Thailand’s third mobile operator True Move, signed deals with CAT in January to install and provide 3G services using HSPA technology. The deal followed True’s acquisition of the local CDMA business of Hutchison Telecommunications International Ltd .
The delay is due to pending approval by the industry regulator to import equipment. CAT chief executive Jirayut Rungsrithong said: "We cannot give a specific timeframe for when the 3G services will be launched."
The operators had earlier planned to roll out 3G services in August and September. GTB
