The draft NBTC bill will be submitted to the National
Legislative
Assembly (NLA) in May.Before NLA
endorsement,the Council of State will hold a public
hearing on the new draft NBTC.
NBTC was set up by Act on Organization to Assign
Radio Frequency and to Regulate the Broadcasting
and Telecommunication Service 2010,which is the second
Act of the same name in 2000.New draft NBTC is the
third act
modified from the act in 2010 which main issues
that are :
1.The authority of NBTC is a little adjust by
1.1 Adding that model scheme of NBTC must be
in accordance
with the digital economy committee’s policy.
1.2 Cut down the authority to coordinate management of
spectra for telecommunication inbound and outbound.
1.3 Change the authority from judge and correct the
problem
of spectra for telecommunication to “provide data and
information to the digital economy committee .
2.Restructure to only one bourd,so the board of NBTC
can handle every case.
3.The new draft bill stipulated that :
3.1 Allocation of spectra for telecommunication must be
by
auction only why the existing act also allows the
allocation
of spectrum through the beauty contest method.
3.2 Provide sufficient spectra for telecommunications to
the
unit of government while the existing act only say that
provide the benefit to overall business activity relate.
4.Cancel the btfp.nbtc.go.th and provide Economic and
Social
Digital Fund which the different are
4.1 The new fund can provide loan to government and
business sector relate to the digital development.
4.2 The new fund will be under the Digital Ministry
instead of the NBTC.
5.Revenue from the new fund will devide 50 per cent
to the Economic and Social Digital Fund and another
50 per cent to public revenue.
6.The maximum number of NBTC will be reduce from
11 to 7 persons which select from various sector such as
broadcasting,telecommunications,engineering,law and
consumer groups.
7.Under the draft,the NBTC could still take
responsibility
for issuing telecom and broadcasting licences as well as
regulating radio station,broadcasting and
telecommunications.
But some contentious issues must be ironed out before
the draft
can be submitted to the digital economy committee for
final
consideration.
More important ,the NBTC would be given the authority to
control frequency interference efficiently.
In my viewpoint,because of the unefficientcy of the NBCT
so the government want to reform it,but if they can
operate
effectively, I think independent entity can be more
flexible
and rapidly management.The efficiency and effectiveness
depend on quanlity and spirit of the committee including
clear statement of authority the committee have.
Under the present situation there are no choice to avoid
restructuring the organization.
Strength of the draft NBTC
1.Restructure to only one board with the maximum number
of NBTC about 7 persons will make everyone in the board
study the same case to make dicision,which is better
than
make decision in each board and send to the NBTC board.
Because in the past each board does not give precedence
to the case of another board.If the new member of the
NBTC all together make the dicision for country benefit,
the conflict of interest will be least and the unity
will be more.
2.Setting the economic and social digital fund which can
provide loan and send 50 per cnet of the revenue to the
public revenue are the strength because loan can
stimulate
more investment and public revenue can provide the benefit
to the country.
Weakness of the draft NBTC
Allocation of spectra for telecommunications by auction
can lead to easily providing benefit to ralate or specific
group and the corruption.
In conclude we must get rid of the weakness of the draft
NBTC before the NLA endorsement is made.
Best Wish.
