The government has officially ordered TOT Plc to build a national broadband network across 30,000 villages on its own, part of a plan to provide affordable high-speed internet to poor households in rural areas.
The state previously wanted TOT and CAT Telecom Plc to jointly take charge of the 15-billion-baht national broadband project.
The order was made last month after the two state telecom enterprises submitted their plans for the project.
"Given TOT's existing extensive telecom infrastructure, the government decided to choose only TOT to take responsibility for the project," said Information and Communication Technology Minister Uttama Savanayana.
