Cell Phone Operators Resolving Network Disruptions

BANGKOK, Jan 5 (TNA) - Three major cell phone operators in Thailand are now resolving their network disruptions following the impact of tropical storm ‘Pabuk’. The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) on Friday urgently invited the three operators including Advanced Info Services Public Co., Ltd. (AIS), True and the DTAC for discussions on Friday after their networks could not operate as usual due to power failure in several southern districts of Nakhon Si Thammarat province. It is expected that communications between mobile phone users in the South could return to normal if electricity supply resumes as normal. Mobile phone users in affected areas are allowed to make calls for 50 minutes and use one-gigabyte Internet service free of charge until Sunday. (TNA)
