Thaicom Confident Broadband Strategy Will Pay Off

 

Via Satellite: Have the dynamics for fixed satellite services changed in Asia?

Nongluck: From what we observed, fixed satellite services in recent years tend to be towards more and more TV broadcast services. We can also see that broadband services will widely gain popularity among users in the region.

Via Satellite: How do you assess the prospects for DTH across the region?

Nongluck: We believe that DTH is the most effective way to provide reliable and efficient TV transmission nationwide, and we are active in promoting and developing such platforms for the Indochina region.

Via Satellite: How do you see the satellite landscape developing in Asia?

Nongluck: Our mission is to be the number one provider of broadband satellite services in the region. We are confident there is strong demand for such services throughout the Asia-Pacific region and we will work closely with our partners to successfully deploy such services. In terms of satellite broadband, we obviously see Thaicom as a major player here.
